Feld Thoughts

Amazingly, I still haven’t conditioned myself to turn my phone horizontally when I take a video. I feel old. I’m sitting in my condo downtown, drinking coffee, listening to Soundgarden, and contemplating the dissonance of so many things. I just got off a Facetime saying good morning to Amy and talking to Brooks and Cooper.

Jeff Hilimire

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Thomas Edison said that. The other expression I like is, “It’s a funny thing, the harder I work, the luckier I get.” Working hard is the best way to put yourself in position to take advantages of opportunities, or to find yourself in a lucky situation.
