When I was a boy, my father often pulled me aside to convey lessons
intended to build what we generally refer to as ‘character’. Often
his advice was very simple — work hard, think for yourself,
do right by others — but I believe those lessons provided the
foundation for everything that has followed in my life. Now that
I’m a dad myself, I wanted to put them down in one place, with
examples of my own experiences, as a guide to life, adventure, and
investing, both for my young daughters and for anyone seeking
success in his or her chosen field. I hope that parents will be
inspired to give this book to their children, and vice versa, as
many of the lessons that I have learned apply not just to young
people but to all adults–for example, question everything,
never follow the crowd, and beware of boys!
What a lovely, lovely book! Though I’ve read all you’ve
written, this one really touched me. It is, of course, a love
letter to your daughters, which is not only a wonderful, meaningful
thing to do, but it was filled with exactly the kind of advice all
fathers should give. Your new book will stay on my shelf for a
long, long time, and I’ll be giving it to my own kids to
read.
