So, this is what you should teach your child and they will never go wrong, oh, and by the way, teach your children, the girls as well and they will be amazed at having such a deep parent!

There are just THREE (3) items on the list.

The first is so obvious that it becomes insulting, but ok, Human beings, all humans, boys, girls, gender, religion oar political orientation should take to heart that people can deal with only three things at once, if you ask more of them you will never get any productivity from them. Sorry girls, this multi tasking goes against this, and you can't cheat the devil! So, if you are getting people to do what you want them to do, then you must present your proposal as three actions/possibilities ONLY.

The second runs everybody in the herd the wrong way. Four (4) out of five (5) people are followers, while out of five, one (1) is a leader. So, if you have a group of 100 people there are on average 20 potential leaders and 80 followers. No it does not require much to understand that should you be among the leaders, you need only be bothered with those 20 people, the other 80 will follow the leader(s). There are numerous examples of this, but I leave to to you to figure it out, while the followers will object, losers.

The last of the three is considered quite weird but it been proven again and again in studies. It too is simplistic on the surface, "You are dressed when your shoes are on." That mean that if your shoes are not on you can not preform effectively. Some will laugh but this has been proven by so many studies that no one will fund research into this, it is just one of the great truths. But to clarify, if your shoes are on and nothing else, no any other clothing, not even socks, then in your reptilian brain you regard yourself as dressed!

So now you know what is truly important to know as you make your way in the world.

And P.S. God Doom has nothing to do with the three great truths!

He loved the excuse to rant.

Or maybe the cat just got into his food, ours hops on the couch and tries to sample my wife's food when she is watching TV while eating.
Gets her in a bad mood - she threatens to make the cat stay in the garage or put it in the family room with the two dogs and me.

I was just wondering if he had a Clippity Clop bridge nearby.

#23 Years ago as a 1st LT I had to write an after actions report (after 9 years in I had seen some but never written one) I asked a Major who was our advisor how to write a good one. His reply: "write everything down exactly as it happened, as a draft, set it aside until the next day. Reread it and remove all the a-holes and SOB's then rewrite it". I've actually followed that advice to this day.
