“All my life, whenever it comes to me to make a decision, I make it and forget about it. As President of the United States, you never have time to stop. You’ve got to keep going because there’s always a decision ahead of you that you’ve got to make, and you don’t want to look back. If you make a mistake in one of those decisions, correct it by another decision and go ahead. That’s all you can do.”

*Make a decision right now and then forget about it. If it’s a mistake, correct it later by another decision. The buck stops with you! Give ‘em hell!

“There’s balance in my life here that I’ve never had before and that’s pretty special . . . I never say never about things, but it’s highly unlikely that I will coach again. I did it at a time, and I never looked back. I have no regrets whatsoever. I feel very good about that.”

*Strive to have work-life balance.

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
