All human relations needs some sort of effort from us to maintain them and nourish them. From all the relationships we have, family relations will be without question the toughest and at the same time the more important relationships we have in our lives. The reason that family relationships are often so difficult is the fact one can’t modify your family; you can’t simply resign and start over. We’ll have the same mom and dad, siblings, sons and daughters throughout our lifetime. This is the reason we ought to work to get the best connections with the family members.

From all the relationships in a family the one that is seen most neglected is the father daughter relationship; This is the main reason, we as dads have to give the most of our attention to our father daughter relationships. (more…)

How Strict Should You Be with Your Goals?

Good morning! I want to talk about how strict or rigid should you be in keeping goals. For example, in my case I set a goal to go to bed each night at 10:30 p.m. How rigid should I be with that and should there be exceptions?

My answer to that is that there has to be exceptions at times but they should be few and far between.

For me last night was one of those exceptions. The only time there should be an exception is if there is a higher priority at play here that supersedes the lower one. For example, a higher priority would be my family and my relationships with my children. In this case it was attending a performance that my son was in.

Marching Band

Let me just explain what it was about. My soon-to-be 17-year-old son is a member of the local high school marching band. He plays the sousaphone. (Yes, that’s him in the center of the photo.) I thought it was called a tuba but apparently a tuba is played sitting down such as in a concert. A sousaphone is simply a version of the tuba used by marching bands. Anyway, my son and his band have worked extremely hard on their performance. For those of you who have never been involved with marching bands, they actually have competitions where many marching bands get together and compete. Each band puts on a performance that includes a number of elements. They have judges who judge the competition and they give awards at the end. This is a huge event that begins in the early afternoon and goes on until after 10:00 at night. (more…)
