This weekend is a special one: Memorial Day. This is the day to remember all of the men and women who have died in the service of our country. They gave everything to allow us to enjoy our freedom. I am an immigrant to this country. I am thankful to be a citizen of this country.  For this Friday Filosophy #2016-21, I want to focus on this idea of country.

As I am late this week, my daughter is teasing me that I want it to be Friday already.

Our Friday Filosophy is aimed at inspiring people to stop and reflect on the subject of the week. To allow you to think about your situation and be inspired to grow as a person and as a professional.   With that in mind this week, in our Friday Filosophy #2016-14, we focus on personal growth.
