Dear Clients and Colleagues,
Being tax season and being a CPA, I am breathing and eating taxes
right now. While I enjoy a good vanilla tax deduction and especially
a chocolate covered tax credit, I am having a hard time swallowing
toxic assets. So I thought that I would take a break and pass along
some free advice that I hope will make you smile and go “Yeah,
that’s right.”
Putting life and the crazy times we live into perspective, here is
some of my favorite advice:
- Eat lots of colors – Red, Yellow, Orange, Bright Green, Dark
Green, Purple and Blue.
- Count your blessings.
- Hug your kids.
- What is the worst that can happen? It did, and we’re still
here.
- Isn’t this the 4th time that the world has come to an end in
the last 20 years? And we are still standing.
- Optimism is the only realism. See above.
- How did people live before cell phones and the Internet?
Better?
- This time is not different.
If brute force doesn't work, use more.
If you have some good advice, please send it to me at
steve@hornsteinlawoffices.com
I’m collecting it. Next newsletter we’ll get back to more serious
matters.
