Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: StephenPSmith.com

Liz Strauss, the editor of Successful Blog and a major inspiration in my life and work, has a group writing project running this week.

Distill your words of wisdom

Liz found some thoughts that she had captured at different points in her life, and each was expressed in poetic sentences of 25 words. Inspired, Liz is reaching out to her community to invite us to find our own 25-word expression.

This is my contribution:

work when you work

live when you live

balance them carefully

the science: knowing the difference between the two

the art: knowing when to stop

Thank you Liz, for giving me a chance to participate and a reason to really think about what I am doing, and why I am here.

Have a great weekend, all. I am going to go spend some time with the lovely bride.

   My contribution:

   Change the world you say?

   Not on my agenda today!

   It’s all work, no play.

   Change the world another day.

   Life evaluation on agenda today!

   Inspired by @lizstrauss and her Change The World section of her site at http://www.successful-blog.com

   Stephen, very good, especially the last line. Knowing when to stop is harder than it sounds. Vicky sounds like she’s following your advice!
