Description
Book SynopsisWhen I was a boy, my father often pulled me aside to convey lessons intended to build what we generally refer to as character. Often his advice was very simple - work hard, think for yourself, do right by others - but I believe those lessons provided the foundation for everything that has followed in my life.
