I believe I’ve passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage.

I’ve found that just surviving was a noble fight.

I once believed in causes too. I had my pointless point of view.

And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

– from Billy Joel’s “Angry Young Man”

Life advice from the Piano Man – wise words to heed when enflamed emotions, ignorance of facts and access to an outlet (lookin’ right at you social media) conspire to tempt us to act on impulse.

In plain language it’s OK to not be outraged by and find crisis in every action, word or thought.

As always success in our lives – financially or otherwise – isn’t achieved by serving the most aces but by not putting the ball into the net.
