Michael A. Wood Jr.

As a leader, I am there to make the best decisions possible with the evidence at hand and to be able to justify that decision. If it goes wrong, we add to the evidence for making the next decision, but there is no reason for regretting failure, as failure is just the production of evidence.

I live completely without regret. Sure there are plenty of things that someone could second guess, but I see the path of life like driving down the road without a map. The thing is, some dark alleys open up in majestic places, and some bright and shiny highways to the top end in cliffs to the bottom. You never know until you get there. What I know for sure is that if many years ago I actually had a map to the path of life, the destination that I would have chosen is right here, with this family, in this place, and with these smiles. That makes anything that could have been regretful, the best decision in the world.

Why anyone__ argument for god(s) is fallacious, especially as a causal agent:Imagine Michael and Jessica are at Jimmy__ house sitting at the kitchen table. Jessica steps outside to take a phone call. When she returns her drink is spilled. Jessica asks, __ow did my drink get knocked over?_ Michael replies, __t was a SnickerDoodle.__: __hat__ a SnickerDoodle?__: __t looks a little like an elephant but it is small, pink, and invisible.__: __s it invisible or pink? It can__ be both.__: __ell, it is. You can__ understand what the SnickerDoodle looks like.__: __ip it. SnickerDoodle__ are not real. How did my drink get knocked over?__: __ell, it was Jimmy__ cat, but it was because he was chasing the SnickerDoodle, so the SnickerDoodle made him do it.__: __top with the SnickerDoodle, you weirdo.__: __ust kidding, it was Jimmy__ cat, I don__ know why.__e have no reason to believe that SnickerDoodle__ are real. Without SnickerDoodles being established as possible causes to drinks being knocked down, then there is no point to discussing them as the cause of Jessica__ drink being knocked over. In similar fashion, we have to establish that cats are a possible reason that drinks get knocked down. Okay, we have established that cats are real and capable of doing so. It is now a viable option, but in order for Michael__ story have any plausibility, we not only have to establish that a cat did it, we have to establish that it was Jimmy__ cat, or that Jimmy even has a cat.Believers cannot get to step one, establishing that any god is even a viable option on the list of possibilities. Then even if gods were proven to be real, you still have to prove that it was your particular god, or that your particular god exists. To argue that your god is real, is like Michael arguing that Jimmy__ SnickerDoodle knocked over Jessica__ drink. Can grown-adults take that argument seriously? Really?

Leadership is the influence of a person(s) on another person(s) which guides their efforts in a specific direction, with more purpose, clarity, and unity than they would have held on their own.
