“I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” – Pablo Picasso

How big are your dreams? Who puts limitations on them? You? Others? Fear? Doubt?

When you refuse to quit and do the right things for the right reasons, you will surprise even yourself. Picasso was right, and I’ve been doing what I could not do.

Made you stronger and more resilient?

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”Henry Ford

On this special day, Father’s Day, in today’s Web 2.0 world and a world of freakonomics, I’m reminded that being a great Father hasn’t necessarily been defined and refined yet.
