Everyday is precious
I told you to make your bed, but you didn't. I told you to get good grades, but you didn't. I told you to take the trash out, but you didn't. I told you to listen when I said not to bring any pets home, but you didn't. I told…
"One day" is not a day
"One day" you say. Look at a calendar. You will not find "one day". How about today?
Speed of Life
You can score ten points in a game, or ten in a quarter. You can learn valuable things this year, or in 20 years from now. You can earn a million dollars in 30 years, or five years. You can buy your first nice home when you are 50, or…
Satisfaction = Delivery/Expectations
Why are some people happy with less results, and others unhappy with more results? When you expected to be further along than you are, you are unhappy. When you didn't expect much, it's easy to be happy. What did you expect by now? Are you happy?
Competition and Discretion in Education
Competition and discretion in a free market has spawned innovation and quality improvements for customers in any market. Today, the government spends far more per pupil than 30 years ago with no improvement in results. Some schools, especially in urban areas, are failing badly. Is there much competition for students…
What is your social/political philosophy?

Being born with a physical disability has its challenges all of its own. Being born with a physical disability and fighting to become a productive and professional member of society was in-breaded in me since birth. So now, as I retire after working for the last 35 years, sometimes three jobs at once (by choice) HOW DO I PUT THAT SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT (for my physical health,) when my mind and soul are not ready to wake each morning without a job to go to that I love, a familý or spouse to care for?
