i eaves-read another person's book on the subway today and was inspired by this question: "what three values would you most want to instill in your children?"
the first one that sprang to mind was generosity. dr. mark greene's dying words to his daughter, rachel, were: "be generous. with your time. with your love. with your life... be generous, always."
i kind of want those to be my first words to my children.
curiosity: the world is a wonder, and when i catch myself less than in awe, i know i am in trouble. i don't want my children to be often in that kind of trouble.
integrity: even when it's all you've got, it can keep you warm at night.
what would you give?
