(I hope my three regular readers will forgive a brief departure from advice about marketing and writing. As this spring’s youth sports seasons start up, I’d like to share an essay I wrote several years ago. Hope you enjoy it.)
I guess it’s human nature for people to want their children to have the things they lacked as youngsters. Maybe it’s because we remember how badly we wanted the things our parents couldn’t afford or simply chose to deny us. Or maybe it’s because giving our kids abundance allows us to flaunt our own successes.
