Someone once told me that if you ever have trouble understanding the actions of people around you, imagine them as little kids. Because really, we all still have the little kid versions of ourselves inside, fueling us.
This made me think of a key question:
What is your most significant memory from childhood - and how does it affect you still?
I have a couple, one "good" and one "bad."
First the bad. I have fun memories of playing touch football in the street all day, but then I'd come home starving, only to find an empty refrigerator and empty cupboards.
That’s never going to leave my brain – searching the house for ten or fifteen cents because I hadn't eaten all day.
As a kid, that feeling of hunger fueled all the little businesses I ran as a kid - shoveling snow, handing out fliers for local shops and of course, my paper route. Making extra money in those ways meant I could even buy my own lunch at school, instead of getting the free lunch my family's lack of resources "entitled" me to.
Being self-sufficient was a very proud feeling for me, and I think I've always been that hungry little kid who needs to feel self-sufficient all the time. That's what drives me in my work, what gets me to the office early, and keeps me there late - even though a lot of people think I "made it" long ago.
I couldn't shake that feeling of hunger even if I wanted to.
My "good" formative childhood memory is a composition of of all those summer days when I was able to scrape together enough change to go to Yankee Stadium for a game or, when it was a lucky day, a doubleheader. My friends and I were never able to buy tickets for very good seats, but we knew a few tricks, and sometimes we could sneak down to empty spots in the closer rows.
In any case, Yankee Stadium on a summer day was a great escape from our little apartment on King's Highway in Brooklyn. It was like paradise.
I couldn't shake this love of sports - particularly live games - even if I wanted to.
(Needless to say, that passion has driven my career as well.)
Do you have childhood experiences that still drive you?
Are they driving you in the right - or wrong - directions?

THIS IS MY STORY ABOUT HOW I GOT SCAMMED BY A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY INVESTMENT PLATFORM THAT STOLE $200K OF MY RETIREMENT SAVINGS you really have to be careful who you let into your financial life. When I met this “dream guy”, I thought my life was finally coming around. He was a Jamaican guy, 7 years younger than me. We had a whole plan mapped out. Investments were our first goal. Soon, I was completely lost in him. And we started our investment journey with a shared account. Of course, I had a bigger share since I already had a successful business. Everything was fine until I started getting calls from my financial manager. Large amounts of money were being withdrawn and then he got worried. Of course, “my guy” dismissed it, saying the funds were used in new investments. $430K was the final blow. This also happened at a time when we were going through a rough patch in our relationship. This was the last blow I could take and so I tried to contact him. I could not get through to him. In two months, no word yet. I contacted the authorities but they dismissed me based on my spouse’s disagreements. I sort of help relentlessly. Until a friend introduced me to intelligencecyberwizardgmail.com. I can’t thank them enough. Thank you for refunding my money back. Consider giving them a try if you are in such a mess, contact them via email WhatsApp/tex or visit their Instagram page.
