“When I was a 14 year old exchange student, I told the family I was staying with that I didn’t want to go in the roller coaster because it scared me to death. Mr Pirosko said to me ‘David, if you’re scared now, you’ll be scared always’. After 26 years, I remember that whenever I’m scared to do anything.When I was a 14 year old exchange student, I told the family I was staying with that I didn’t want to go in the roller coaster because it scared me to death.

“I’m the oldest of three kids. During an argument with my dad (who is the second of eight kids) one time he told me:
“Any decision you make, you make three times. Once when you make it, once when your brother makes it after watching you and once when your sister makes it after watching you and your brother. How you treat your brother will tell him how he treats your sister and how you treat your sister will tell her how she should expect to be treated for the rest of her life.”
“I was sitting in a bus once, and we came to the railroad tracks. There were cars between us and the next red light so if a train came, we’d be stuck until it had passed.
Then the light turned green and the bus went across the tracks without having to wait for a train.Phew, crisis averted. Then, behind me, a mother says to her small child, ‘That was too bad, we didn’t get to see the train today.’
That was the perfect way to frame that. Why not enjoy what you get?”
