I had a beautiful breakfast with a dear friend of mine. He's known as the 'General' and I, the 'Colonel'. Thrice my age - a wonderful spirit with such vigor for life. We talked and reminisced about his earlier days - and the road i now travel in a profession similar to his. its difficulties, its struggles. no judgements, no criticism. listening. understanding. giving guidance when asked. how refreshing - inspiring.

In his simple words...
"Don't get discouraged. Rome was not built in a day.
Keep at it kid, you're doing good."


A wise proverb reads...
"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back."
