Don't wait

I'm old enough to have learned a lot of life lessons.

One I keep forgetting, however, because it doesn't happen very often, is to correct folks who call me by an incorrect first name.

I'm called "Will" by the receptionist at the YMCA who greets me every morning.

I'm called "Mike" by another physician who works in my same building.

Both are my fault.

I just keep saying "hi" back every time they address me.

I waited too long to correct them...my bad.
