Thoughts on Derek Jeter's 3,000 milestone

THOUGHTS ON DEREK JETER’S

3,000 MILESTONE

… AND THEN SOME

Do you remember a kid's game where a group would tell a story in which every sentence ended with some silly phrase like "...in his underwear."

So the game would commence with someone saying, "Billy walked to school" and everyone would chime in "...in his underwear." 

And would continue along the lines of "And met the principal" "...in his underwear."  "Who sent him to the cafeteria" "...in his underwear."

You get the idea.

So I fetch my ink-on-paper north Jersey Sunday morning paper from the curb a while ago and the headline reads –

3,000

…and then some

 And I have the flashback to this “…in his underwear” piece of my youth.

Here’s why: I also recall from years ago taking this approach with a—

Formula For Success.

My aging memory isn’t spotless on this so I may not get it exactly right, but like the kid's game, we can still play and enjoy the experience. 

I'll start the ball rolling.

Formula For Success

...and then some.

• Successful people do what's expected of them ...and then some.
• They are thoughtful and considerate of others ...and then some.
• They meet their obligations and responsibilities ...and then some.
• They are good friends to their friends ...and then some.
• They can be counted on in an emergency ...and then some.

You take it from here. Make up other beginnings you like. Post up or otherwise share really good ones.

Wishing you -- and Derek -- continued success ...and then some.

P.S.  And when we each do what comes our way in life ...and then some, we are all paid in full ...and then some.
