Len,

We have four grown children, all in their 30′s. They thank us regularly for encouraging them to follow their dreams. This path, for them or for me, is seldom smooth, but doing so will prevent the eventual regret of wondering what could have been.

Keep it up with your kids. They will appreciate it. And hey…they might become the best underwater basket weavers ever.

Great post, Joe!

This is something I have been struggling with more and more myself as I get older.

I continually tell my pre-teen kids that they absolutely HAVE to make sure they find something they are passionate about – I don’t care if it is underwater basket weaving – and throw everything they’ve got into it.

People that are passionate about what they do are the happiest people I know. As for the money – it will eventually come.

All the best,

Len
