Dear Next Generation,

On my 70th birthday, Dec. 12, 2020, I wanted to bless my seven grandchildren (now 8 to 20 years old) by sharing with them my “Words of Grandpa,” which I wrote for the occasion. Leading up to this important birthday, I had been reflecting upon my life and realized that a lot of my success in my marriage, my work, and my relationships with other people could be wrapped up in these short, yet powerful for me, words of advice which I have lived and spoken to others throughout my life. So I gave each of my grandchildren a copy of “Words of Grandpa,” believing that this advice will motivate them to achieve great heights throughout their own lives.
