Something More Important Than Courage

Roy — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:35:04 +0000

I like to obtain my inspiration from many different sources, and one of my favorites is a commercial from Michael Jordan’s “Become Legendary” campaign.

Why Life Lessons Are Important

Roy — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:54:40 +0000

The importance of learning life lessons can not be understated. It is my experience that if you do not learn from the lessons that life is trying to teach you, then they will be taught to you again and again until you do. A fundamental cause of much suffering and unhappiness is people’s unwillingness to [...]
