Today, I got lost in Manhattan. As I stood on the sidewalk trying to get someone’s attention for a little assistance, 25+ well dressed business folks blazed by me, purposely avoiding eye contact. Finally a teenager with spiked green hair and a pierced lip stopped, smiled and gave me perfect directions. MMT

Today, my brother in-law insisted on helping us move into our new house. In fact, he was the only one who volunteered to help us. And he’s had to use a wheelchair his entire life. But to my surprise, he was an extraordinary help. His arms are insanely strong and he’s more agile than I ever imagined. MMT

Today, I interviewed my Uncle, the owner of a multimillion dollar insurance company, for a school research paper. When we discussed wealth as a measurement for success, he said, “You know, the wealthiest I’ve ever felt was the day I married your aunt, because I finally realized I had something money could never buy.” MMT

Today, my dad got laid-off from his job of 30 years. When he picked me up at the airport this evening, I asked him how he was coping. He said, "I have a loving wife, a daughter who just got home from college, and a son and daughter in-law who have my first grandchild on the way. I couldn't be happier! A job I can find anywhere."

Today, my brother's Facebook status said, "Goodbye." Tomorrow is his funeral. MMT

Today, one of my friends from college, who is now a multi-millionaire, came over to my house for lunch.

Today, the girl I have had a crush on for the last five years (one of my best friends) asked me for relationship advice and I told her to stay with her boyfriend because I know he takes good care of her and makes her happy. MMT

Today, my business has grown to over 1000 employees at reached a market cap of nearly 20 million dollars. Last year, my wife divorced me, and I haven't spoken to my children civilly in nearly a decade. But most small business journalists call me a success story. MMT

Today, he fooled me again. I keep making the same mistake. Because I desperately love and miss the person he used to be. But I don’t love and miss who he is today. MMT

Today, after 2 years of separation, my ex-wife and I resolved our differences and met for dinner. We laughed and chatted for almost 4 hours. Then just before she left, she handed me a large envelope. In it were 20 love letters she wrote me over the last 2 years. There was a post-it note on the envelope that said, “Letters that I was too stubborn to send.” MMT
