My 17 year old son wrote this for a homework assignment. I thought it was really insightful. It is a brief piece on his thoughts on how to handle adversity.
Rivers are my problems. Every problem
has solutions. I could ride a boat or
Fly an airplane. I choose the long route though.
I face my problems. That makes me better.
So I build a bridge, to the other side.
Each is one step. One step toward what I will
Be. When I am what I will be, you will
look up and say, “What a bridge he
has built!” I have built many bridges.
I have many more to build. Conclusions
Are so simple. I have come to one. All
Rivers lead to bigger rivers. Problems
Lead to bigger problems. Once I cross the
First one, I know that I can cross them all.

Whats the Hillbilly PhD all about
Through the years I have met numerous people that are very successful and have little formal education. People that live their life with certain down to earth principles seem to do very well. That is what I am calling a “Hillbilly” people with down to earth principles. Principles such as Trustworthiness, Effort, Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Forgiveness, Iniative, and Caring. These are some of the qualities that I like to cultivate and write about.
