Why Every Kid Should Milk Cows
I grew up on a farm in Ohio in the 1940s. One of my major responsibilities was helping milk the cows. From the time I was six years old, the routine was established. Every morning I arose at 6 am, dressed, picked up two milk buckets, and headed for the barn. I did that whether it was snowing or a downpour. I milked those cows seven days a week, every week in a year. When I arrived home on the school bus in the afternoon, I rounded up the cows, took them to the cow barn, and milked them again.

Distractions and Lack of Motivation
I am very easily distraction. I am also not easily motivated when it comes to things that benefit me. I have a book I bought back in March 2015 that I haven't even finished. I also bought the first season of Dragon Ball a couple of months ago, and I have yet to finish that. Another huge issue I have is that I procrastinate a lot. Everyday I tell myself that I will exercise and be more active. The doctor told me about six months ago I need to be more active or risk becoming overweight. That advice for some reason was not enough to get me motivated. I just started to be serious about exercise last week.

The Story of Your Life
I’m about to expose the realities behind taking your dream of becoming an author and actually making it happen. First, the reality check...have you ever considered how much time and effort goes into writing a book?

That said, when you’ve done it successfully, the rewards are unsurpassed, so keep reading if you’re an aspiring author, or a person who sincerely believes you have a book inside you. Even if you don’t feel you have the ability to write a book, but feel your idea for a book is good enough, there are people who'll write it for you.

My Father Taught Me The Three Fundamentals of Success
I was reminded of my father today. He passed away a long time ago. One of the most interesting effects of time is its ability to heal wounds and amplify strengths. If I let time mesmerize me, my father was a saint. When the clock stops its hypnotic ticking, I realize that he was far less holy, but he really was an amazing teacher.
