Every year one of the goals I set is to continue to become a lifelong learner. One of the action steps to that goal is always focused on reading. I usually try to read one book a week. Some of the books I read are ones that I have read before. Repetition is the motor […]
Most people have heard of the 12 Days of Christmas song: “On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…” You know how it goes, right? Most people also know that the 12 Days of Christmas are actually the days between Christmas and the Epiphany (Coming of the Magi or Wise Men). As we […]
I have always been a fan of Pete Rose as a player. He played for the Phillies (my favorite team) and helped lead them to their first World Series championship in 1980. He also was one of the toughest, most hard working players to ever play. Pete Rose hustled his way to collect the most […]
