Life Lesson #13: Keep Your Eyes Down The Road

Know what is coming up ahead. Have some foresight. This includes knowing when to put something in writing, and when a verbal message is preferable. As one member of the Advisory Board put it: "Don't write it if you can say it, don't say it if you can nod, don't nod if you can wink."
