A STERLING LIFE: STEPHEN COVEY





Stephen Covey was the author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. He passed away on July 16, 2012. A force of nature in the business world for his simple yet insightful seven steps.  Win-Win was one of his steps and that phrase has become a mantra in the business world.  His recommendations concerning P/PC balance and always keeping the end in mind are the steps that seem to impact me the most.  If you grew up in the 80's or 90's it is impossible to not know about Covey and The Seven Habits.  But it has come to my attention that several of those educated in the 2000's have not been exposed to Covey's wonderful insights.  I highly recommend you study and practice these habits.  It will most certainly lead to a sterling life.

PINOT: ANOTHER GOOD SWIRL



Celebrated another turn of the calendar last night.  In honor of the 15th anniversary of my 29th Birthday, the wife and I enjoyed Merry Edwards Pinot Noir.  This Pinot is excellent and very affordable.  I highly recommend it with Coq Au Vin offered at Superior Seafood in New Orleans in honor of Bastille Day.  Which happens to be my birthday.

Cheers
