Editor's Notes

- Clarify problems before giving solutions or explanations. If you don’t, you’ll end up solving the wrong problem. And I found that the most effective form of mentorship was that I would be blunt when I had to be blunt, but the tome was one of encouragement. Give short answers and ask if you answered their question. You can always say more but you can never take back.

- My neighbor’s 17 year old son said to his mother – “How can I make some money?” His mother said, “Weed all of the flower beds around the house.” Is that enough direction? He dug up 3 plants his mother had planted a week earlier. Two of the plants had a wooden stick supporting the plant.
