Words to my unborn son.

- Become comfortable with being uncomfortable. Tolerance is something built on purpose over time. Learn to be the rock in any situation.

- Master one thing over a lifetime. True mastery is honored, a jack-of-all trades is simply appreciated.

- Curiosity is the engine for thinking. All great things start as an idea.

- Your brain cannot tell the difference between a memory and an imagined scenario. YOU ALREADY DID IT. Use this to your advantage in building confidence.

- The old adage, "it's all in your hips" holds true for the important parts of a man's life. You need strong hips for lifting heavy objects, good posture, and great sex.

- Dance vigorously. In the animal kingdom, males do the mating dance. Not vice versa.

- Seek to understand first, then be understood. Giving your undivided attention is the most basic act of generosity. It will be noticed.

- Don't squash bugs. They are the guardians of the Earth. Or it could be your grandmother.

- Know the difference between simplicity and elegance. Simple things are as they appear. Elegance is complexity and beauty intertwined to appear simple.

- Shout into the open whenever possible. It's damn fun.

- Know when to say, "Please, Thank You, I Love You, and Forgive Me." Those four phrases will serve you well in the future.

- A real man knows when to ask for help. You are a fallible human being, ask for a second-opinion.
