I made my first nickel when I was six by investing in a school business run by the fourth-grade moguls. Every year, they collected a dollar from prospective investors and used the contributions to purchase ingredients for a dessert sold at lunchtime. Later, they would return the money with interest. I invested in these ventures annually, and eventually, it was my turn to be an entrepreneur. The dessert we sold that year was snow cones, and more than earning money, I loved the way I made people…

I hope that reading this blog adds something positive to your life, and it’s important for me to deliver on my commitment to you. But the truth is, I haven’t been feeling motivated lately.

Although I had promised myself to never open and write in this book again, I can’t help but feel that today’s events should be recorded in here so I can set them away from my mind. If the memories are remembered in here, I wouldn’t to hold remember them in my mind. I had just come back home after a long day of planting and tending the land. I placed my rifle down beside the fireplace as I was welcomed in by the wave of warmth, a distinct contrast from the merciless chill outside. I am…

If you are literally speaking then yes, there is a enormous difference; one being: they are completely different temperatures, and two: they are opposing elements. But what are precisely their differences? If someone is much like a hermit crab, and lives tucked away in the mountains, never comes out, and has a history of unpleasantness, and wretchedness toward the nearby town, anyone could describe him as a fiery,…

When it comes to one single object that I care about more than any other, it would have to be the chain necklace my father gave me before I left for school. At the time, I did not quite understand the depth of the meaning behind it, but there have been times that I rely on it to get me through my day. Two of the most important components in my life are family and hockey. This chain brings them both together and reminds me what I’m striving for. I was a naive fifteen year old that was…
