While reading *<a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034/?tag=jonsuhcom-20" target="_blank">How to Win Friends & Influence People</a>* by <NAME>, I came across a piece, *Father Forgets* by <NAME>, and it struck me like a hammer.

<!--more-->

I’m a father of 2, and I *love* being a father—being a dad is one of the greatest joys of my life—but in my striving to do my best in raising and training my children, I often find myself impatient, unforgiving, and harsh.

*Father Forgets* reminds me to be patient, forgiving, and gentle not only with my children, but in all of my relationships. As I share this piece with you, my hope is that it compels you to do the same.
