The Wood Brothers - Pay Attention
“I hate to be needy, selfish and greedy — but please pay attention to me.”
Proud to be a Hoosier, even prouder to be an American. An evening of fishing in Mooresville + Pacers on the radio. (Taken with instagram)

I’ve taught a class or two on risk management and had plenty theories and systems crammed into my brain via school and the Army — enough to know that it is great when applied to, let’s say, foreign policy, or a business investment, or even something as everyday as a motorcycle ride. One place it does not work? Long-standing friendships. Significant others. Family.
Nothing throws caution to the wind or marks a halfhearted effort like “managing” risk in these types of relationships. We show a lack of commitment, a hesitation to take the risk, and it creates an atmosphere for distance and skepticism all around.
I use Peter McWilliams example to show how taking a risk on someone can pay off because he writes a lot on taking risk, being willing to be uncomfortable going outside and/or expanding comfort zones, and embracing changes for the better based on desire.
You know what’s frustrating?
“I can’t.” That is really frustrating. Which I think we can all agree that, in reality, in a common, everyday world, it translates to “I don’t want to.”
A Couple Questions I’ve Been Meaning To Ask:
Which is worse, failing or never trying? If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? Why haven’t you started by changing yourself? If happiness were the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? Why are you, you? Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first? If not now, then when? Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?
