What its all about………

November 11, 2009 | Dave

Do you work to live or live to work?

It’s a simple answer on my end. If I were asked what my favorite word was in the English language, it would take me seconds to pronounce “dad”. After reading Ralph Waldo Emerson as a young adult I have never been the same. These words keep me grounded. I pull them out and read them after a tedious day or a particularly bad month of business. They remind me of all that I have to be thankful for and help me focus on the incredible gift I have been given ….. the privilege of being a husband and a father.

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded

Ralph Waldo Emerson
