Preface
Readers of my earlier books will notice right away that this is something different. It concerns neither my adventures traveling the world nor my specific thoughts about the best places to invest your money. Instead it's about the larger lessons that I have distilled from my life experiences—lessons that I think investors young and old will in some ways find more useful than anything I have written before. And that has something to do with the event that spurred me to write it: the birth of my first daughter, Happy, in 2003, and her sister, Baby Bee, who followed in 2008.
I must admit that not very long ago I would have scoffed at even the idea of having children of my own. Growing up in Alabama, I was the oldest of five boys, and as much as I loved my brothers, I spent an awful lot of time looking after them! Also, I couldn't help but notice what a financial burden having five children had imposed on my parents no matter how keen they were on us. Later in life, I was too busy working and traveling even to think about parenthood, which seemed like an endless drain on the time, energy, and money with which I was pursuing my passions.

But now I have the experience, time, and energy to bring to bear on my new passion.
When I was a boy, my father often pulled me aside to convey lessons intended to build what we generally refer to as “character.” Often his advice was very simple—work hard, think for yourself, do right by others—but I believe those lessons provided the foundation for everything that has followed in my life. Now that I'm a dad myself, I wanted to put them down in one place, with examples of my own experiences, as a guide to life, adventure, and investing, both for my young daughters and for anyone seeking success in his or her chosen field. I hope that parents will be inspired to give this book to their children, and vic ............
