  1. Some Thoughts on the Secret of Life Dance like nobody’s watching; Love like you’ve never been hurt, Sing like nobody’s listening; Live like it’s Heaven on Earth. Presented by Mark Warren Texas Association of Counties

  2. Who packed your parachute today? • Charles Plumb, a US Naval Academy graduate, flew jet fighters in Viet Nam. • Years later, a man approached and said: • “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters off the Kitty Hawk in Viet Nam. You were shot down!” • “How in the world did you know that?” • “I packed your parachute”, the man replied.” I guess it worked!”

  3. He was just a sailor… • “How many times I didn’t say ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’, or ‘how are you?’” • I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor. • The smallest contribution can sometimes make the biggest difference. • Fate might be in the hands of those we don’t know, but that know us.

  4. We need many kinds of parachutes • Plumb needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down. • Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parachutes helped him float to a safe landing. • In the daily rat-race, we can miss what’s really important. What do you value? • Now, as we go, make the time to recognize those who pack our parachute.

  5. The Secret of Life is a Good Cup of Coffee… • Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. • When you lose, don’t lose the lesson. • Follow the three R’s: Respect for yourself, Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions. • Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

  6. This is Your Life and Welcome to it… • Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. • Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship. • When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. • Spend some time alone every day.

  7. It’s More that just Workin’ and Drinkin’ and Dreams… • Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. • Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time. • A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. • In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

  8. Keep Your Eye on the Ball… • Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality. • Be gentle with the earth. • Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. • Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

  9. Rolling Stones Records and Mom’s Apple Pies… • Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values. • Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. • Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon…
