Our second daughter, Brit, is an adventurous individual. Last year, she did her study abroad in Europe. This year, she’s studying in Israel and traveling to neighboring countries in the Middle East. Tiff and I encourage our children to earn their own way, work hard, always study and learn, and explore the world to learn of other people and cultures. Brit works, saves, and studies abroad whenever possible. Tiff’s family is from New Zealand. By the time we married, Tiff had explored a lot of the world. Until I was out of high school, my experience was mostly limited to ranch/farm life in Utah with trips to Montana to the family land there. After high school, I lived in Taiwan for a couple of years and loved it. When I was in Kaohsiung, Taiwan China was shooting missiles into the Kaohsiung harbor. Very exciting. While calculated caution is advisable, fear is crippling and the outcome is certain failure. Courage and faith work much better. We only live once. I’d prefer to play hard to win rather than play to not lose. How about you?
