Seven Things This 63 Year Old Surgeon Would Tell My 40-Year-Old Self
I am 63 now, and I spend my days as an orthopedic surgeon watching how people's earlier choices show up in their bodies decades later. I see it in my college friends, high school buddies, and patients that I have known for 20+ years. If I could sit across from myself at 40, here is what I would want that man to understand. None of what follows is complicated, and all of it compounds over the decadesโฆ either against youโฆ or in your favor. You are largely in control.
Successful people embrace the boredom of consistency.
Derek Jeter said, "It slows down when you're prepared and speeds up when you're unprepared."
"Every time you're in a situation, I've already gone through it in my head."
It means mastering the fundamentals and doing the work.
@PNilan91592@datadomNY Agreed! No team is trading their long term captain while in 2nd place in their division in early March. The ones on here saying to do so can't separate fantasy from reality.
Sean McVay nailed the job description.

That's leadership.
Not a critic. Not a ceiling. An elevator. ๐ฅ
@Hake81741198@4thOfJuly365 F@ck that! That punk kid got everything he had coming to him. I don't give a damn the size of a person. Give your damn head a shake!

You fall back on your habits and what you consistently do.
@IslesDen@XFactor3kze@islescup13 Lou gets a ton of credit for the Trotz hire, no doubt about that. After Barry was gone, though, Lou couldn't take/make this team into a contender whatsoever. Isles have been mid ever since. I'm not a Lou hater just stating what I feel are the facts.
