Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Believe

I have a strong, unwavering belief in you both.  A sincere, ardent belief that you will be successful beyond what you can imagine today.  As strong as that belief is in me - it is nothing compared to the belief that you need to have in yourself.  It needs to be stronger, more unwavering, and more ardent than any belief anyone else has in you.  It has to be that way in your core.

This does not mean that you should be without doubts.  You should have doubts, it is an essential part of your self preservation.  Your doubts let you re-access the path you are taking if that is needed.  That is a big part of improvise, adapting, and overcoming.  Doubts can also paralyze you.  You can spend a lot of time re-accessing your paths when things do not go as planned.  Never spend so much time accessing which path to take to the degree that you fail to walk down any one path.

Sincere belief is most powerful when it comes from you. 

Love Dad
