I have a high school reunion coming up in a few months.
There is zero chance of my sharing the number, but the question is, should I go? Statistically, about 30 percent of a graduating class attend reunions. And as you all know, there is a certain self-selecting relationship here, namely that the most successful people tend to be the ones that go to the most reunions.
Now, to the crux of the matter of the reunion. Here is the story. Two members of my graduating class of 65 boys, decided to ask the members to recount their lives since high school, and they gathered about 50 mini autobiographies. They published them in a small book. At one of the earlier reunions, I spent a lot of time with a couple of these “not my gang” folks, and their thoughts on multiple topics fascinated me. I was not listening in an echo chamber. I was pushed out of my comfort zone. I came away from the interactions surprisingly feeling better about the world and the people in it.
