New year resolutions? Become a better leader, a better coach, and a better husband and parent. I think those are all great areas where I can improve and can do continuously.
What am I doing in those areas?
For one, I registered for a 5-course specialization on coursera. It will set me down by $200 but it’s 5 courses, so if I complete one every month, 5×50 would be more. So I think I’m good. I could try to complete it in 3 months, which would be $150. I have 14 days to cancel and decide.
My wife and others think that I am cheap. Sometimes I feel that I am. But most of the time, it’s just who I am. I can’t really help it. I don’t spend lavishly. I am a frugal person, trying to see where I can reap some savings.
How can I become a better parent and a husband? I will try to eliminate negative comments and try to inspire more, even if I have to grind my teeth. I will also need to restrain from raising my voice, or stop that all together.
