  • Ross Reck: Having Goals and Pursuing Them is the Key to a Longer Life

    Target - GoalsIn 1921, Lewis Terman, a psychologist at Stanford University began a long-term study of 1,528 twelve-year-old American children. The goal of this project was to study their lives and habits until they died. Ninety years later, Howard Friedman, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California Riverside and Leslie Martin, Professor of Psychology at La Sierra University in Riverside, California analyzed the data from this study and published their conclusions in a book titled The Longevity Project. One of the more fascinating things they found was that the people who lived the longest were not the ones who were the happiest or the most laid back, but the ones who were the most engaged in pursuing their goals. The authors concluded the idea that working too hard can shorten your life is a myth. What they found instead was that “The people who worked the hardest lived the longest.” Janice Lloyd who reviewed the book for USA Today presented this prescription for longevity: “Work hard (at something you enjoy). Don’t retire early.”

    Almost Andy - Art Fettig
    Almost Andy – Art Fettig

    Safety Dedication
    At a big Trade Show recently a fellow came up to me and said, “Hey Art, I understand that you are involved in safety.  I wanted to meet you.”  And POW! I was off and a runnin’ down the track again just like a race horse.  We had a good talk about saving lives and not having to call on new widows and how commitment and dedication and persistence, together with good management and employee involvement, with personal commitment, will result in the kind of safety record one could be proud of.  Safety gets into your blood and your he

    art and your mind and I guess it will never go away. That feeling of “How might I make a positive difference?” just never goes away. In bed that night I asked myself, “How could I take Almost Andy and use him to promote safety? I’m open to ideas.  What might Almost Andy do to make a difference in the field of safety?

    Say Something Good
    Snow, snow, snow. Our little forest looks so different with a snow flooring. Yes, it is beautiful but this is North Carolina and the weather reporter tells us to remain in our homes if at all possible. We have electricity and hot soup in the kettle and all is right with the world. The schools let out at noon yesterday and it seems that all of the doings in town have been canceled. Yes, all America is so beautiful, but it is so white.  May God bless America and keep our troops from harm.

    Points To Ponder
    For the first four years no new enterprise produces profits. Even Motzart didn’t start writing music until he was four. Peter F. Drucker

    A Little Humor
    Did you ever wonder, when you bought a cured ham, what it was cured of.

    Quote of the Week
    You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.  Michael Pritchard
