Comment on Father’s Day by Anonymous

I dove into fatherhood without much thought about what it was all about. I loved young sons and still do — at almost 32 and 30 years old. They both have made many choices – some worked out and some didn’t. But they both turned out to be responsible, kind, family-oriented young men.

Recently, I was at a family gathering which included one of my sons, his wife and a group of cousins in the same general age group. One of the cousins was talking about his struggle to know just what to do to make his career work out. He was employed but struggling to find his compass. After listening to similar feelings expressed by the others, I spoke up.

Essentially, I said that as long as the choices they made were moral, legal and fit with their personality, not to worry. Making the “one big right decision” didn’t matter. The willingness to make small course corrections along the way would work. Then I said that they would “do just fine.” When I said that they (the group) would be “ok”, there was almost a collective sigh of relief.

I have made my mistakes as a father. But my heart has been (and is) in the right place. I have been willing to make course corrections — and still do. In the end, I think that things will be ok — and, perhaps, once in a while, as they grow older they will even still listen to the “old guy”.

Comment on John Wooden: The Winning Leader by Eric C.

This is an excellent post on the insight of John Wooden inside and outside of the basketball world. Many people will remember him not only for his coaching accolades, but for his philosophy on life.

I might have to also check out that book you recommended as well.

Comment on Experiences are better than things by Oyuna

This article reminds me of a saying, “we come in this world with nothing and leave with nothing.” I really like the underlying concept of this saying. The true essence of our lives exist in our great memories and experience rather than the material possessions we gain, and furthermore, nothing is truly ours other than the experience we get to earn. So, I completely agree with your point that experience is better than things. Thanks for sharing, Dan!

Comment on Don’t just watch, LIVE by Danny Brown

Ironic, isn’t it? We spend so much of our lives wanting to be someone else in some other place, when the really good stuff is happening right outside our front door. All we need do is open it.

Cheers for the wake up call, Dan.

Comment on How to handle mistakes by Robel

Nice post Dan!
The Chinese word for crisis has two characters. One represents danger other represents opportunity. A mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow…
