Here's to the Roaring Twenties
It’s going to be a great decade—the Roaring Twenties!
I’m not naive, and I know there will be hard times ahead. But I also know that life is what you make of it, and I believe these next ten years will be the best ten years of my life.
Why Not?!
Every year I pick a One Word theme for the year, but since it’s a new decade, I’ve decided to be extravagant and also pick a 2 word theme for these next 10 years.
My two-word theme for the Roaring Twenties is, “Why Not?”
Last year, just after Dabo Swinney led the Clemson Tigers to their 2nd National Championship in 3 years, he gave a postgame interview—all of which is worth watching—30 seconds of which have stayed with me since I first saw it. Over the past year I’ve gone back to that clip often.
Some background: Dabo, who grew up poor in Alabama, was a walk-on for the Alabama football team while he and his mom shared an apartment, because she had nowhere else to live. Dabo’s Clemson beat Alabama for both of its recent national titles. Here’s the clip:
I love that!
It’s going to be a great decade.
It’s going to be the Roaring Twenties.
It’s going to be the best 10 years of my life.
Why Not?!
P.S. What’s your One Word (or two or three) for the Roaring Twenties?
