Retha Hill’s Life Tips
Retha Hill came and spoke to some of us during a luncheon. She was told she could talk about “whatever.” Though the topic was broad and someone else could have made it boring, Retha decided to go more personal and share her Top 12 Life Tips (in no particular order).
- Never leave opportunity or money on the table. “It’s all about the hustle. Never give up.”
- Compete against yourself and not other people. Some people may try to pin you against others, but don’t fall for it.
- Don’t be a lazy reporter — Understand the subject, get diverse sources, value the community that you are in and get to know folks.

To quote this (wonderful) submission from The Modern History:
“It’s hard not to love the March 26, 1971 cover of LIFE featuring Walter Cronkite. While I may be too young to remember Cronkite while he was still broadcasting, he remains one of the great broadcasters to grace American network news. The cover sums him up perfectly: a nice guy.”
See more covers from 1971 here.
Cool! :)
