Excerpts from “Something Tsunami A-Z” : a soon to be published collection of original writing by Chauncey Dandridge
Sometimes the only way to make things happen in life is to put yourself into a position of responsibility and/or accountability so that if you fail to deliver on a promise or intention or project, you don’t just disappoint yourself..you let other people down.
