Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I'd like to share with you this very short cute little poem that my dad actually used to share with us

when my sister and I were teenagers and we were pretty new to driving.

And it's from Dale Carnegie.

And I just think to myself, gosh, this applies to so many things.

I'm gonna read it and then let's break it down a little,

shall we?

So here's what Dale Carnegie said.

Here lies the body of William Jay,

who died maintaining his right of way.

He was dead right as he sped along.

But he's just as dead as if he were wrong.

Let me repeat that. Here lies the body of William Jay, who died maintaining

his right of way. He was right, dead right as he sped along, but he's just as dead as if he were wrong.

So think about that.

It's true.

We can do the right things.

We can be in the right and accidents can happen.

Right like this man in this fictional man in this poem who's following the rules, following the

traffic signs, doing it it correctly and yet he is

still dead. There's an old saying right about how you can be right or you can be happy. To me this is about so much more than driving. Of course it's

practical and safe on the road, pay attention, right, always be aware. But don't we sometimes destroy relationships,
