Success in life is about showing up. Much has been written about this concept. There are simply certain events which one must not miss. Experiences that must be taken in and never forgotten. A visit to the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately described or captured in a photograph. A family vacation to a foreign locale cannot be done justice with a description. One must be present.
