It was David that had all the advantages in this battle, not Goliath. The real lesson of David versus Goliath is how a perceived advantage can actually turn out to be a disadvantage in practice. This kind of situation crops up in life and in business much more often than you might realize.…

Happy 76th Birthday Dad!– May 03, 2018 It’s been 7 years and almost 6 months since my father died. It’s crazy how quickly time passes us by.
