i normally let internal calls go to voice mail on a super busy day, because if it’s urgent, they can page me – this was 1998, in the pre-mobile phone era.

“You’re Jeff Noel, right?

“Yes. But i have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Carol said she’d investigate and call me back.

You are the CEO of You, Inc. The spotlight is always on you to live with excellent habits.

Never know what might have been.

Never know how effective our impact could have been.

Never lived up to the hopes you had for yourself.

The “what if” usually has an ending sounding like this, “I’ll never know?”
