40 Years and Here Is What I’ve Learned
Two days ago, I celebrated my 40th birthday.

This One Is For All The Fathers
The doorbell rang the other day, and two young men stood before me. I say young men because neither of them had to be above 25 years of age.

Challenge Yourself
Challenges are never easy. Thus the reason they are called challenges. But we seem to allow challenges to own us instead of us owning them.
