Lessons from Maverick, Goose, Rooster, Ice Man and even Bob

 

My wife and I saw "Top Gun: Maverick today (I promise...no spoilers, and we loved it).  

Little did Maverick know he wasn't just teaching the new recruits in Top Gun but he was teaching us in the audience too. 

School is in so here are my top ten lessons from the flick; 

1.) Sometimes you need to stop thinking and just do. 

2.) You have to learn to let go. 

3.) There WILL be a time for the next generation to take over. 

4.) Everyone needs a good wingman (or woman). 

5.) The impossible CAN be made possible at times.  

6.) Don't put your cellphone down on the bar. 

7.) Don't underestimate the "Bob" in your group. 

8.) Sometimes, rules are made to be broken. 

9.) You can go home again. 

10.) If you are coaching, teaching, or leading someone...show them that it CAN be done. 

And a bonus lesson...

Yes, Tom Cruise looked good reprising his role and I know he pays attention to his looks and health. 

I just had my annual physical and at the tender age of almost 55...my doc said I was in excellent shape...even better than last year, so...

Always take care of yourself. 

Always.
