VALUABLE GIFTS – TIME AND KINDNESS
“You gave me a valuable gift: you took me seriously.”
“During an illustrious career that saw him win multiple awards and worldwide recognition, Theodore Geisel published over 60 books, most of which he wrote and illustrated under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Despite his busy schedule, and just months after the release of The Cat in the Hat, Geisel set aside time to write a charming letter — a picture of which can be seen below — to a 13-year-old aspiring illustrator by the name of Howard Cruse. Cruse was delighted and wrote again two years later; yet again, Geisel replied. Such was the impact on Cruse that in 1985, 26 years later, he decided to write to the author one last time and thank him for his advice. Geisel’s illustrated reply can be seen below.”
TAKING THE TIME TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS
CONCLUSION – MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Mom taught me the value of giving time and making a conscious effort to appreciate others. She mailed thousands of handwritten notes, birthday wishes, and thank you cards to family and friends. As I matured, I appreciated her efforts even more and still have several of her cards and letters. I appreciate she took the time to encourage me in all my seasons.
Several people have commented that her cards, letters, kindness, and gift of time always seemed to arrive when needed.
I cherish the gift of time from those I love, respect, or admire.
This week I received the best gift. My daughter and Mr. Theo flew in for a visit!

ABOUT ME
I am a proud nerd (as my beautiful wife and daughter have told me) investment and finance blogger with an N.C. State, Chemical Engineering, University Rutgers, MBA and Harvard University, Advanced Management education.
I left a corporate career because I desired to make a difference as a speaker and writer. I was blessed to be coached and mentored by strong women and men in my family and professional life. It is my time to serve and give back.
DISCLAIMER
I started my first business at ~13 years of age (a small but brilliantly created plant nursery). I am a successful investor in stocks, options, and real estate and am happy to share my finance and investment lessons. I am NOT a licensed financial advisor. Please do not construe my suggestions on this blog as recommendations for your situation. As an investor, you must establish your risk/loss tolerance. Investment in any asset involves risk, including complete loss.
Please seek your licensed CPA or fiduciary financial advisors for individual financial advice.
I write this weekly blog to make an impact by reaching an audience and demonstrating the need for financial literacy. I will help you get there.
