Summum Bonum – The Highest Good
I came across a phrase called Summum Bonum in my readings this week and not knowing what it meant, I searched. It is a latin word meaning “the highest good, especially as the ultimate goal according to which values and priorities are established in an ethical system.”
What is your summum bonum? While I dig deeper into this, I am happy with Marcus Aurelius quote:
“Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm. Tired or well-rested. Despised or honored. Dying…or busy with other assignments.”

Not easy but worthy of giving it a go. I hope you think of your summum bonum.
Count on friends and not numbers
Now and then I hear and see people wowed by someone’s number of likes, followers on Twitter or number of Facebook friends. Differentiating between followers and real friends is important.
Your friends will be those that make you happy offline or online. One that stand by you in good and bad times and can sense the words behind the silence. Ten thousand likes on a post will make you happy in the moment and famous for 5 minutes, but real friends offer you a long-lasting companionship. Not all online followers are your friends or want to be one. They have their self-defined agendas most of the time.
This quote from Brené Brown is fitting.
Worrying vs. Thinking
So true, and still we humans spend endless time worrying and stressing about things we can and cannot control.
Make It Happen
Yes, talk is cheap and does not add a lot of value. Right action, on the other hand, does increase value to everyone involved.
Curiosity
Curiosity is the spark for creativity and innovation, the best long-term investment you can make.
Act Now
Act Now – Don’t Delay
Do I know a lot about George Canning? No, but I agree to this quote of his. What I do know is that indecisions do have a cost associated with it and sometimes it can be super expensive just not to make decisions, let alone not making them at the right time.
So take action now, come to a decision – right or wrong but make a decision and move forward with your life.
Know your field
Once you have decided on a field, you need to know what has been done so that you can know what still needs to be done.
