    Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

    When it comes to these to geographic classifications, I do not hesitate. I was born in the summer, and prefer warmer weather. For these basic two reasons I prefer the beach.

    In the ideal circumstance, the beach is preferable because more often than not it’s an enjoyable backdrop especially when it is sunny and warm outside. The water is always pleasant and a couple of degrees cooler than the air temperature.

    The one drawback that I find with the beach is that the sand tends to get in your shoes when you walk on it. That is the one unpleasant feeling that I encounter whenever I go to the beach.

    Notwithstanding that one drawback, i would go with the beach over the mountains 60% of the time.

    What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?

    Our family has been blessed to celebrate meals together over the years. Now that my sister and I are grown and my dad, it has imperative that we take these opportunities that we have with each other. We don’t have particular dishes that we cook; we eat out. But there are times throughout the year where we convene frequently.

    These are

    • My Dad’s birthday
    • Christmas
    • Thanksgiving

    Those dates listed above are more significant to me than what we eat. The people around us make the occasion memorable. I’m fortunate to have those people (family and friends) with me on those special holidays. They make the experience worthwhile.

    I wish I could say that I do, but I don’t. I am thinker and I tend to do it too much. Sometimes it gets to a point of paralysis, because I want to have my decision be validated immediately. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way.

    I need to be more cognizant of my instincts and trust them. The times where I DID NOT trust my instincts, I made the wrong decision. And I’ve suffered the consequences from the decision.

    If I’m going to be a successful entrepreneur, which is my life goal, I must be trust my instincts. Simple and plain.
