August Musings

And because life is a continuous class, learning doesn’t stop. August has re-taught me a few old things. Things I may have known in passing, but not fully grasped practically. Not sure I fully understand them now…For example:

· People are the best medicine. The fastest way to recover from anything is to be around people. Happy people.

· People will shock you. Don’t put them on a pedestal.

· You will shock people. Don’t let them put you on a pedestal.

· Cheap is expensive.

· Free is VERY expensive.

· There’s nothing for FREE. The best things in life come at a COST.

· Desperation is BAD. It can lead to very regrettable choices.

· People are not always what they seem. Manage expectations.

· Some clients actually pay and on time. Yaay!

August ends in a couple of days…ushering in my third month into the great big vast well worn, much-travelled unemp…I mean freelancing lane!
