Willi, I am working on the truth. In the meantime, I really love chocolate ice cream

There is not one person for the 'whole' of my life. Reflecting upon it with the view to stages of life, then I would say that for the first half (I am 43) it would have to be my parents. Although, a lot of what they taught me about life and people only makes sense as I am growing older. Individually they are amazing people and as a couple they are so integrated after almost 60 years together it is impossible to think of them separately. My mom is very alert and intense and my dad is very wise and laid back. Both are brilliant cognitions so I am definitely genetially blessed and that has been reflected in their grandchildren who are all very, very smart.

In the second half of my life (<God willing> that fraction will turn into an improper one) -- my husband. Our first 21 years were very challenging with lots of ups and downs. The one stable factor was that we went through it all together and our commitment to that shared journey never <seriously> wavered. Things are going very well for us now and our sons are growing up and coming into their own. It is funny but thinking about it now...I am very alert and intense and Russell is very grounded and laid back. As time has passed we have shared/traded qualities. Things have never been dull.

Thanks for the question Willi. Over the past couple of days I have been reviewing all the people who have made a difference to me. It is a long list and the selection process has been a pleasurable pursuit to turn my mind to. It would be a great folder.

Soeur...Thank you.

I'm glad you enjoyed the question.
It sounds like you have had & do have some wonderful people in your life...I'm happy to know that. Thanks for sharing!

Soeur, I'd like to give this some consideration. I have two different approaches I'm thinking of to answer with.

I'm not checking in as often as when I'm in my office, although I'll be looking in on a regular basis.

I'll be back tomorrow with an answer.

Sorry about being late with this. I have two thoughts on this. One has to do with specifics, the other with a big generality.

There are two things in my life that has brought the most positive into my life. One is all the positive things I've gotten to experience with my 3 boys. They are quite independent at this point and have very strong wills. While that has provided for some challenging times in their earlier years, it has been good for them in their adult years.

The next specific situation is the enjoyment I get from helping out other folks. I don't have the resources to do something nice for everyone in the world, so I help folks that I know in some manner. The details are of little importance except to those folks. Suffice it to say I really enjoy doing nice things.

Now for the more general approach to what I enjoy--life itself. Life has given me joy. As with anyone else, there has been good and bad times, although I've had a great time trying to improve myself as a person. I also believe everyone should leave the earth a better place than the way they found it. I would take great joy in being able to succeed at that in even some small way.

Somehow I knew you were going to ask :)

OK Truth.

When you switched from working for someone else to working for yourself, what was the biggest emotional or psychological hurdle you faced--and what did you do to over come it? (is that what you thought I'd ask?)

By the way, do you have time from that private chat anytime today?

I doubt if I can do the private chat today - working behind a firewall.

Let me think over this question - lots of stuff went on during that time period and I have to decide which was the biggest.

Ok E. I'll catch you later.

I wanted to pick your brain about some of the aspects of self-owned business that might not be covered in your typical small business course. Also thought it would provide some good insights into you as a person.
