Christmas
Dear Children -
The one trait that I know that I don't want to pass on to you is cowardice. Your father suffers from this. He is sometimes a coward. And not a coward in a way that is traditional - but a coward in that sometimes he doesn't believe in himself - or - even worse - he needs to have other people believe in him in order to find belief.
This holiday season has been different for me. There is much uncertainty in my professional future and I have yet to reconcile what that means for our family. But - I hope to do that soon. Much of that uncertainty stems from being a coward. Here's what I do know - you should try not to work for anyone else - and you should definitely not find your value from a group of people or anyone else... you will be disappointed.
This isn't the greatest of christmas messages but it is what I am thinking about -
Love
B
