Office Burn's mother, Jo Burn is famous for her unique life advice and perspective. The Zen phrase, “Aw well next yea!” has become something of a life philosophy for Knight, Raider and me. It stands for the idea of letting go and not wasting time beating up oneself over anything whatsoever.
The term came about on Easter morning, when Owfice Burn called Mother Jo Burn at her sister Cath's home. Cath is a single corporate mom with two small children. She tends to run her family like a corporation, and often overlooks details such as, "easta baskets." Owfice Burn called to wish everyone a happy Easter, and inquired as to how the children enjoyed their Easter treats. Jo burn then puts down the phone and yells, "Hey Cath, How’d the kids like their Easta baskets?" Cath gasps, and replies, "AWWWWW Gawd, I fuhgot!" In her irrepressible optimism, Jo shouts back, "Ohhhh...Aw well, next yea!"
We apply this saying to every life scenario, particularly those where the oversight is one of crucial importance. You should too!
