When I first envisioned sharing Papa-isms, my focus was somehow mainly on what I would be sharing. I did not think as much about what I would get back from the readers. After several months during which I had the immense privilege of reading your thoughtful comments and

Sometimes in life, all the stars seem aligned for our success. On top of that, we may even be lucky enough to be uniquely qualified to succeed in what we’re about to undertake. These are the moments when most people tend to become overconfident and relaxed. I happen to believe
