a father's great advice

What do you want to do?

The question can challenge some folks to answer it. Jonathan Fields interviews Tommy Bahler and even if you only listen to the first 5 minutes to hear what Tommy's father told him, it should be worth it.




Of course, once you go that far, you might as well listen to the rest of the 45 minute interview.

From the archives - "Letter to Allison"

While looking for something else, I found this:

"We attend too many seminars. We take too many classes. We buy too many books. We play too many audios in our cars. It's all wasted if we're unclear on what learning really is: Learning is not attending, listening or reading. Nor is it merely gaining knowledge. Learning is really about translating knowing what to do into doing what we know. It is about changing. If we have not changed we have not learned. What have you learned today?" - John G. Miller 

I added this to my quote collection.

It comes from a longer post, a letter to our daughter Allison that was to be read by her when she participated in a retreat while at college. I liked what Dolores and I wrote then, I like it even now.
