Inspiration from Ray Allen
From Ray Allen’s Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech “I learned in life that our kids pay attention to everything we do, everything we say and everything we don’t say, and everything we don’t do. So I have to be an example to these young people at all times and we got to make sure that…
The Connection of Pressure and Success
The rise of facebook ushered the “pressure” of success from moving the magic age of 40 down to 30. In reality, a lot of millennials have this mentality and most of them are stressed while others are challenged. I am reminded too of my life journey and “success” to me is the time I found…
