I’m wondering if success or winning or victory (pick your favorite word) is better defined by direction then it is by destination. Sometimes we measure our achievements like reaching a spot on a map. But I’m finding that there is a greater satisfaction by the rigor of heading in a certain direction – a direction toward progress. Simply said, growth …
Best Movie Of The Summer
And the winner is…Inception! All I could say when I walked out of the movie theater at the end of this film was three words: What A Ride!
