Michael Jackson, Entertainer

Everyone's life contains good stuff and bad stuff. While people mourn or disregard Michael Jackson's death, or celebrate his life, we can learn important lessons from how he lived and worked. They include:

• If you want to keep your fans or customers interested, what you do today must be much better, bigger, and more spectacular than what you did yesterday
  
• Always strive for perfection in your life's work
  
• Be yourself, be an individual
  
• Give everything you've got to whatever you do
  
• Use your talents to save the world. And, if you can't save the world, then change it or heal it...even just a little bit. We are the world!

Michael Jackson certainly was an individual. We'll miss his music, his lyrics, his voice, his dancing, and his unique and irreplaceable entertainment style and abilities. What a shame. May he find the peace, love, and acceptance in death, that he sought but, could not attain in life.
