I Value My Time......
Today I started my day working a few hours looking out at the San Diego Bay. The rest of the time was spent with my family and enjoying this beautiful city. I am greatful for this portabale business.

An Applicable Quote: Gandhi
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
-Mahatma Gandhi
This has been a very telling quote in my life. As I grow and gain new experiences, I always try to have this particular line in the back of my mind.
My interpretation of this quote:
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow."
I can't live my life doing things that make me unhappy. Ultimately I want to be working toward the betterment of my life, and those that I care about. If I died tomorrow I want to have as few regrets as I can.
"Learn as if you were to live forever."
