Who's Thinking Now?

"If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you."

A little one helps

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. (Now this will melt your heart.) The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

He loved…

Stanley Bronner

March 19, 1923 – November 15, 2010

He loved…

He loved music, dancing, education, sharing stories and family – mostly family.

I talk a lot about my parents being my heros, how they were role models in showing us how you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.

Like all the children of the survivors I saw this in action and learned it through his sage wisdom. Most of his advice started with “If a person wants to make something of himself ...”

I moved away for a few years and when I returned, like Mark Twain, I realized how much smarter my father had become while I was away.

His advice became clearer in its importance to me as I raised my own family, grew my own business and stayed true to the integrity in which I was raised.

No matter what we might think at the moment, we are the product of the people around us, the end result of how we were raised .. and for that Daddy, I thank you.
