TO MY SON, AS YOU STEP INTO A NEW CHAPTER



SON,
The world you walk into is not always fair — but you must always be.

There will always be noise — stay rooted in your truth.

There will be shortcuts here and there— choose the long road; it builds real men.

There will be fear — Walk anyway.
Speak anyway. Love anyway.

Wear kindness like armor, but let no one mistake it for weakness.✓
Work — not just to earn, but to become.✓
Dream — not just to escape, but to shape the world.(productivity)✓

When you fall (and sometimes you will), rise with dignity, not bitterness.

When you win (and definitely will), carry your crown humbly.

Character will carry you farther than talent ever will.🫰🏼

Respect will open doors money never could.
👍

And remember:

Your last name is a story you inherit.

Your first name is a story you write.

Write it well, son.

Always very proud of you before you even begin.

— DAD

He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
