Acumen and accruing. Two words that share a few letters, and yet are miles apart in every other sense.
Acumen means you have something of use; accruing means you’re in the process of gathering stuff that isn’t necessarily useful.

Acumen means you know your shit; accruing means you think anything below a certain number is shit.
In other words, someone with acumen will always – ALWAYS – beat someone that prefers accruing.
Because the numbers that come as a result of acumen far outstrip any importance that the simple act of accruing numbers offers.

I took this picture on the way to a meeting the other day. As you can see, the lady driving the car has her little dog right up front with her in the driver’s seat. Because we were driving (and I know how some of our local drivers are – think
People will agree or disagree with you. People will agree or disagree with how you do things. That’s how it should be – none of us have all the answers. The trick is in deciding who you give credence to, and who you let pass by because they offer nothing
