It’s amazing how the medical professionals can become so dismissive of a strong loving family’s desire for life and living. Maybe they should be trained on the use of caring far more than the use of drugs?

That family has built the kind of wealth that money can’t buy. In fact, I dare say that they most certainly have the kind of courage to build anything they would want for generations to come.

If the Hoyt family can read this, GO HOYTS GO!

Thanks for the great read.

Great Wealth and Happiness,

Now that our daughter is almost 9 months old, I realize that there are many things I would do just to see her smile. But I never thought someone can possibly go this far just to make their child happy.

Dick Hoyt is a great man, and I admire him for giving up many things for the sake of being with his son. And yes, it is great that he had actually gained a lot by following his life path along his son.

Like, famous Zen master said, “The man who considers himself a good father, is not a good father” (Zen’s mind, Beginner’s mind).

Being a good parent isn’t about money. This is the first error many parents make. It’s also not about obsessive care (because it ruins child personality). But it’s easier to define what is not a good parenting, rather what it is.

Many parents doesn’t care because they doesn’t even see their errors. If there’s something wrong with their child they usually blame someone else.

From what I know the article is from Sports Illustrated (6/13/05, by Rick Reilly). There’s a good documentary on YouTube and much stuff on the internet, see my blog entry for a collection of links.
