Through touching stories and hard-earned lessons, he reveals how parenting shaped his values and challenged his ego, offering a deeply human look at what truly matters. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://contrarianedge.com/my-single-greatest-achievement/ Quotes to ponder: "My kids are my single greatest achievement. They are kind, smart, curious, and caring people." "Kids are not a project you can complete or a problem you can solve - they are human beings you help shape." "Being a parent made me realize how little control I have over the world and how much influence I have over what kind of father I choose to be."
