Fathers
I know that the trajectory of my relationship with my father is the same as many and probably has been chronicled in many pschology texts. And yet it remains perplexing and difficult.
I am now at the stage when I know my father is in the wrong and yet I see know value in fighting him. I am not compelled to prove something or I do not need to belittle him to make me feel like I am superior. I see him for who he is and who I really am. Men -- just trying to make it in a world which is much vaster than we are.
I love him for what he has provided me and appreciate everything that he has done given the tools he has. I respect him and I will always do that.
Thanks Dad for being the father I needed

5 Patterns of the Successful from Talent Monger www.5patterns.com
What are the factors that dramatically and consistently impact career success? Why do some people ascend and prosper while others of equally talent, never reach their expectations? From our research we discovered five discrete patterns that time and time again show up in the careers of the most successful executives:
1. Understand the Value of You. People with extraordinary careers understand how value is created in the workplace and translate that knowledge into action, building their personal value over each phase of their careers.
2. Practice Benevolent Leadership. People with extraordinary careers do not claw their way to the top. They are carried there.
3. Overcome the Permission Paradox. People with extraordinary careers overcome one of the great Catch-22s of business: You can't get the job without the experience, and you can't get the experience without the job.
4. Differentiate Using the 20/80 Principle of Performance. People with extraordinary careers do their defined jobs exceptionally well but don't stop there. They storm past pre-determined objectives to create breakthrough ideas and deliver unexpected impact.
5. Find the Right Fit. People with extraordinary careers make decisions with the long term in mind. They willfully migrate toward positions that fit their natural strengths and passions, and where they can work with people they like and respect.

Quiting
Several members of a group, to which I belong, was called "Quitters" and because of this perception that a person labelling them quitters no longer want to join our group.
This makes me laugh on so many levels. First, we are all quitters to some extent -- otherwise, we would still be in diapers. So the question is when is something "quitting" and something "moving on".
For me, there is no question that there are things which I will not easily quit or it is unlikely I will ever quit, e.g. my marriage. My job, I will quit, if something better comes a long. So what is the difference. For me, it is about my long term goals and what I want. If my wife woke up tomorrow and decided that she (1) did not want to have kids and (2) wanted to be a beach bum in Thailand, I would probably quit my marriage because it is not what I want and not what I signed up for.
However, I don't think because I am tired of doing something means that it is time to quit. Nothing, especially great things, is easy and I think that I will need to work through these things.
I also think that how you quit is what helps define me as a man. It is like breaking up or quitting a relationship. The fade or fizzle is irresponsible in my book, but I also don't think listening to a woman trash me 3-4 times is necessary. Each man needs to figure out what is right for him.
Ahhh it is so easy to describe how it should be and so hard to actually do it.
