Tensions exist in any free society. But the freedom we enjoy rests on a foundation of individual liberty and shared moral values.
In hindsight, I see the great value of family and how it moulded my life and kept me together. So now family means everything to me.
My guess is that people look at me and project their own values - importance of family, ego is healthy but not the biggest thing. I don't know. I can't explain my popularity.
It's the experts in adolescent development who wax most emphatic about the value of family meals, for it's in the teenage years that this daily investment pays some of its biggest dividends.
Here is a fundamental conflict in educated society: We are not supposed to value beauty so highly, and yet who can defend against its sheer power to move, its rhetorical force?
Humanism was not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace.

One of the stated values at IronPort was 'work/life balance,' but I wasn't living it. I was rarely home. And when I was home, well, let's just say I wasn't particularly helpful or cheery.
Since belief determines behavior, doesn't it make sense that we should be teaching ethical, moral values in every home and in every school in America?
For too long people have backed companies on hope value rather than solid products coming out. Now we are coming out the other side.
I have this hope that there is a better way. Higher-level tools that actually let you see the structure of the software more clearly will be of tremendous value.
When you go onto the internet, if you really rummage around randomly then how do you hope to find something of any of value?
There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
