Jordan loving Pooh.

12 years have passed…

My son is now 14 and in high school, headed for an amazing career in high-end car customization and sales.  Jordan has known that he was headed into the automotive field since he was four and was given a 25 car set of Hotwheels (r).  Upon opening the package Jordan’s eyes lit up and the whole room of about 25 cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and grandparents heard a subtle but expressive whisper of a completely awed “WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!”

Since that time Jordan has studied cars of every sort extensively and can recognize almost any car on sight, even if it passes us on the road at high speed.  He has started his own car blog at www.bigbadautoblog.com, and recently earned the respect of teachers and adults at UTI’s Powerpalooza in Orlando as he named car after car at the morning ice-breaker slide show.  He had straight As in his auto class this year, and he is establishing a wall of fame in our living room with certificates and  awards

My son may change his mind at some point and choose a different path, and that is perfectly acceptable, but somehow I don’t think he will.  He shows one of the most important aspects of life-success, PASSION.  Add to the passion is a plan of action, and a deep desire to be the best car customizer/builder in the world.

This combination of personal attributes invariably leads to personal triumph.  Passion, Planning, Desire and Determination… This may be the magic formula for success.
