Lessons from My Grandfather
Much of what I learned about life was from my grandfather. He was an old man who told stories and asked questions. When I went to visit him, he would ask me about my dreams and fears. He would spit a little as he had started to lose a few teeth. Then, my grandfather looked into the horizon and spoke to me. His voice seemed to drift from the clouds, and it carried words of ancient wisdom. My grandfather taught me about believing in self. "What you are most afraid of," he once said, "is the fear of failure."
