How Do You Measure Success?
Years ago a colleague of mine answered that question by saying he looks at a man's children to see if he is successful. You are successful if your kids turn out "right".
I agree - largely because my kids are so terrific! All have a college aducation. All worked and paid their own way through college with no handout from Mom or Dad. The oldest of my brood, my twin girls Debra and Denise, both have degrees in education. Next oldest daughter, April, has a degree in computer science and is an IT engineer for a big company.
Our oldest boy, Lance, has a Master's Degree in Political Science (Government) and a Master's Degree in Education. Our youngest boy, Sam, has a Ph.D. in Mass Communications and Cognitive Science.
How did we make all that happen? I have no idea! We were just lucky, I guess, and I claim no credit for their successes. But.... I do love my kids!
About Me
- Sam Bradley
- Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
- OLD WHITE GUY (I Think-how could one know the ethnicity of every ancestor?) I have an opinion on almost everything. But my opinions are not unshakeable. I love truth and facts. I strive to be right, but have no aversion to being proven wrong. My formal education in writing is limited, as learned readers will quickly discern. I was born the day Herbert Hoover was elected president and have voted Republican nearly all my life. I am a veteran of a proud, though undistinguished career with the United States Army in the Western Pacific. I am a past member of the Society of The Sons Of The American Revolution and an active member of The National Rifle Association. I am blessed to have been born an American. I am most grateful to our Founding Fathers who 'gave us a nation' and the American military who help us preserve it; I am most proud of my wife, my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
