Calvin and Hobbes is my all time favorite comic because it makes me laugh and learn at the same time.
Calvin always tries to get out of doing chores, and his father always tells him ‘doing something he hates’ builds character.
With the New Year just 4 days away I’m doing a lot of thinking about living a more interesting life (if building character is a side benefit, I’ll take it).
Blogger Scott Young wrote a thoughtful post called ‘Nine Steps Toward a More Interesting Life’. I like his ideas about shaking off the rust, trying something new, and abandoning dead-end projects.
This year I will focus more on staying fired up, being lavish with my praise, and stingy with my criticism (unless I have a solution ready to share).
If you’re looking to get fired up for the New Year, check out Lee Iacocca’s new book, ‘Where Have All the Leaders Gone?’.
