My Roots

Preamble
With few exceptions, most of us live our lives pretty consistent with the values (roots) that we grew up with. These roots that end up shaping our lives take shape within the first few years of our lives. My experience suggests that these roots take shape within about the first twelve years of our life. These roots, from there on, unconsciously determine what we are going to do with of our lives, and determine the strength of the country in which we live.
My motivation for writing these pages comes from varied reasons.
The main reason is that I am proud of the values that are grew-up-with mostly because they were rooted in the reality of life, and taught us the unparalleled pride that derives from our taking care of our own responsibilities. I am not aware of any of my acquaintances from my growing up days, ever relying on Welfare to pay for their responsibilities, or ever expecting the government to built their homes.
Another reason is that I hope that my experiences with doctors and nutrition will be useful to our youths to stay healthy. Health is our most important wealth, and life without health is not fun!
