As we experience fewer problems, we don’t become more satisfied. Instead we lower our threshold for what we consider a problem. This is referred to as the “science of first-world problems”. – Michael Easter

Sometimes when we become successful we also begin to doubt our own accomplishments. This is often referred to “imposter syndrome”. An unsubstantiated belief that we’re not worthy of our achievements and/or don’t stack up equally to our peers or family. I felt this every day until I left my family business. It was self-perpetuated and wasn’t resolved until I had enough money in the bank to silence my inner critic. I guess I needed to prove myself to myself. – Dad

Today was one of those days where I missed my Dad. Not the Fox News watching, Trump loving, conspiracy theory nutjob who passed away last May, but the guy who used to take me to Pistons games, play golf and make people laugh. That version of my Father passed away in spirt long before his body. Wishing for something that doesn’t exist is unproductive, but remembering the good times in spite of the bad manages to keep it all in perspective. – Dad

Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It’s 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There’s 6 months in a season, that’s about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week – just one – a gork… you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes… you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week… and you’re in Yankee Stadium. – Crash Davis
