If
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wi...

From Your Father
You got it from your father, It was all he had to give. So it's yours to use and cherish, For as long as you may live, If you lose the watch he gave you, It can always be replaced.

The Lessions Learned
"'The road,' wrote Cervantes, 'is always better than the inn.' Those who settle on fame or fortune, and having arrived, call it quits, miss the whole point of life.

Over time, he realizes that the way to get ahead is simple: get up early, work hard, save as much money as possible and invest it wisely.

Raising My Child
If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self esteem first and the house later. I'd finger paint more and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting.
