Imagine that: a general who puts the lives of his soldiers first and reads war history books to gain the knowledge to make decisions for their protection
Am so impressed and proud of this choice!
good link HM.. thanks for linking it to the transition threads
Not to equate football to war, but Russell Wilson was saying in an interview how his dad would always be presenting problems to him to foresee - and think about how you would react to them. In both football and life. It sounded like it was ALL the time - riding in the car, meals, etc.
I’m guessing that was ultimately what the General was/is learning to do. Thinking ahead of time on what his decisions would be, based on the success and failures of others.
I tried to tell my kids that in a vague sense (Okay - just think a few steps ahead of when you make a choice). But it would have been better to make them more concrete - and ALL the time.
“So what will you do when you are offered a drink, pot, sex, etc.)
