I’ll try again

Yesterday, I finished reading The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz. The author presented many good points and principles for success in business and Sales. However, one particular story stood out, and I thought it was applicable to many of us.

I just know I chose to tell my when I gave her the news of my diagnosis that I planned to stick around. I told her that I’d be here when she graduated from high school, and college, got her first job, developed her career, got married, and had her first child.
