Yesterday when I picked Elisabeth up from school, she asked me:
"Daddy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
I couldn't stop smiling as I answered, "An entreprenur."
"What does that mean?" she responded.
"It means I get to create something new." Then I turned the question on her: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"A teacher," she replied.
That is a noble profession that is marked by good questions.

"About 390 B.C. Socrates wrote about Athenian society:
Could I climb the highest place in Athens, I would lift up my voice and proclaim, 'Fellow citizens, why do you burn and scrape every stone to gather wealth, and take so little care of your children to who you must one day relinquish all?'"
(Quoted in Honey for a Child's Heart p93)
Yesterday my dad met Gladys Hunt, the author of Honey for a Child's Heart, who used Socrates' expression to call many parents to care for their children. I hope that through our work many more will heed her call.
