At a young age, Paul Hickey decided he would collect experiences. He was determined to visit as many cities and countries as possible. Along the way, he made plenty of friends (and jokes), allowing him to now look back at age 92 and know he succeeded with his goal. Paul's inspiring life story goes from growing up on a modest tobacco farm in rural Kentucky to spending a 60-year international career in technology. Perhaps it was his Irish grandmother, who became ill as an infant on an immigrant ship to New Orleans and was almost thrown overboard, that instilled in him how to deal with life's uncertainties by continuing to live to the fullest. He and his loving wife, Judy, raised their five children in Austin, Texas,before spending their golden years traveling the world for business. Weaved throughout Paul's stories are his secrets to nine decades ofhappiness: a strong commitment to family, friends, faith, intellectual curiosity, empathy to others, and last but not least, continual humor.

I have been in sales for over thirty years and have learned a lot, or so I thought. Oddly enough, it was hanging out at our local dog park that educated me in a way my MBA never did.We had recently moved into a neighborhood that had a nearby dog park, so I could easily walk there or drive when I was short on time or feeling lazy. I started to notice patterns in the dogs and how they related to each other. I watched how they all crowded at the entrance to greet the new dogs and sniff their butts to say hello. Some dogs were submissive; some were dominant. I saw the various ways the dogs interacted with each other, and I realized there were similarities to what I experienced in my sales job every day.
