I tend to be in the camp that considers Sir Richard Branson to be a little bit of a loony flake. however, the guy has accomplished some pretty amazing things with his life, so I give him kudos for all that stuff.
anyway, i saw this on the wall at Jimmy John's last night, and thought it to be a valuable list to share:
------

lots of good (and Biblical) reminders there in how to live "a life well-lived". i don't agree with 100% of these, but overall, it's a great list.
have a HAPPY WEDNESDAY -- out for now....
