THINGS I WISH MY KIDS WOULD ASK

EDITOR'S NOTE: Barry Courter has a 23-year-old son who graduated from college last year and an 19-year-old daughter who is a freshman in college.

Q: Dad, you've written these questions and the answers for more than two years. Is there a running theme or themes?

A: I guess it would be learn from your mistakes and from the mistakes of others. Read everything you can. Get out in front of your problems and don't be shy or too proud to ask for help or advice. Basically, there is no point in reinventing the wheel, but the best way to learn is by doing it yourself.
