The people we want to be like

The person I wanted to be like taught me how to catch a baseball
He taught me how to shoot a free throw
But he also taught me how to do something

I want you to see what I think is one of the greatest examples of what we’ve been talking about and surprisingly it’s in a Hollywood motion picture. In “The Family Man” Jack, the husband, has made a career decision without consulting Kate, his wife. Because the opportunity is so lucrative Jack is

When I was in the South African Air Force I had the opportunity to march in a military tattoo. There were about 120 Air Force marchers lined up in rows of three. We drilled several hours a day for many weeks. Finally, we got to the military tattoo. It was marvelous to watch 120 Airmen dressed in

Friday, I did a quick web based search, and I was surprised by what I found. I answered four questions:
