Reading7 Why My Wife Is My Hero

Q：Why his Wife is his Hero？   

    My name is Chas Brothers. Many of you know me asan author of motivational articles directed towardsboth big and small business alike. As writers, wedraw upon our knowledge and experience to offerour readers the one or two things they may need toinspire them to greatness.

    Life experience is also a great teacher as are thepeople who have the greatest influence over us. Mywife Jolene has been my source of inspiration andgreatness for over 14 years. Those who know meintimately will tell you I don't give away my affections easily but she brings out the best in me even when Idon't want her to.

    When we met, I was informed by this Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and former Marine, that she was going to takethis stubborn Polish, Native American, and former Army dog face and mold me! Friends you can imaginethat at times, it was the classic clash of the Titans!

    I have seen many things over the years which have caused me to view life in colors of black and white whileshe sees things from every form of gray imaginable. For me, there were no hero's and I was desperatelylooking for where I fit in, in the overall scheme of things. The hero I was looking for was right in front of meall the time - my wife!

    Jolene has taught me more about business and cultivating the tools I needed to succeed more than anyone.Without her direct support, I wouldn't be able to do any of this. I'm not surrounded by nay - sayer's - justsupporters. She is my editor, most staunch critic, advisor, and most trusted partner. She has never ceasedto amaze me. Despite at times a not so friendly work atmosphere at a couple of previous employers, shealways maintained a high level of professionalism about her that was inspiring. And if that weren't enough,when I got custody of my four children from a previous marriage she accepted them and set about teachingme how to be a good father to them.

    I remember when I first started in management, I just couldn't wait! I was the flavor of the month - anautocratic leader just like the bosses before me. Only problem was everyone went democratic on meovernight - I was lost! I have always possessed the ability to motivate others and help them find theirstrengths but it was through her refinements of me that I was able to find mine and manage to give myself abreak in the process. She has taught me to be tolerant of a great many things that I never thought I would be capable of.

    All that I am, I owe to her for she is truly my hero, my rock. We make a pretty formidable team. It took 14years to mold and shape this team but I was already moldy to begin with so she had a head start!

    It's important to me that you know what motivates and inspires someone who enjoys motivating others! I'mbetter because of her and it shows. Thank you Jolene - I Love you Kiddo!
