I'm getting this lesson a lot lately, from my almost-2 daughter. The things I think are important, aren't. The things I think are trivial, end up being important.

I just put her to bed, and I'd like to leave the rocking chair and go sit with my wife. Right now, just having someone here is the most important thing to her.

As I read about this, it both breaks my heart and inspires me to live different. I have been touched deeply by many people. I hope I can have the opportunity to touch at least one life as deeply as mine has been.

Rest assured, Derek... your writing has touched lives. Mine included. Please... write more. Priorities will shift, but whatever you do, please don't stop writing!



This is why start-ups want young workers - they haven't figured out yet how precious their time is.
