A Cat Has Nine Lives: Maybe We are Cats
My life has made me a survivor. None of my 9 lives was anything more than misfortune and a chance to learn. A few of the lives gave me pause and forced me to rethink where I was and where I was going.

Success – Speed vs Time
Running a marathon is a good metaphor for life. It is hard to do and to do well. Eliud Kipchoge just did the impossible and ran a 1:59. For those who don’t run, it is painfully fast for us mere mortals. For many years the Boston Marathon has been the benchmark for long distance runners. …
