Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

Dependants and Dependence*

I drove my kids to the store today so they could spend some of their allowance. I had a lot of other things I wanted to do but they depend on me to get around. Sometimes having family that depends on us is hard but what goes around comes around. I know too many elderly people who can’t or won’t depend on their adult children because their children could never depend on them.
