A jack-of-all-trades, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his scheme to achieve "moral perfection," a goal that often eluded him due to his busy schedule. But every evening, before retiring at midnight, he would reflect on his day and ask himself: "What good have I done today?"

This has been an amazing year of growth for me.  I mistakenly thought to myself the other day, "Paul, you are forty-four years old. I think you are done growing!"  I would have to say that I'm not even close to being done growing. And I won't be done until my heart stops beating and mind stops processing.  This is what it means to be a lifelong learner.  Yep, that's me.
