Dear Young Me, I see you—sitting in the back of your dad’s barbershop on San Antonio’s East Side, sketching cartoons in the margins of your schoolbook, pretending the broom is a microphone, spinning dreams bigger than the room you’re in. You don’t know it yet, but all those daydreams? They’re not silly. They’re seeds. I know it feels like the world is too big and you’re too small. You don’t have much Money. You’re not sure where to start. But hear this: you’re not crazy for dreaming. In fact, those dreams will become the roadmap for your life. One day, that voice you’re…

Note: This is an excerpt from Sonny’s upcoming book – What’s the Best That Can Happen? A Motivational Memoir When I was about 10, I attended a Cub Scout meeting at a classmate’s house and couldn’t believe he had his own room. It was filled with toys and shelves lined with inviting books. Hanging from the ceiling were two model Navy jets, suspended by nearly invisible wire, frozen in formation as if in mid-flight. When we went into the backyard, I stopped short. There was a sandbox. The kind you saw at the park. In his backyard. I went home determined that my little brother, Ricky and…

San Antonio Express-News master writer, Rich Marini asked me to share my, Best Day Ever for a feature article. I am blessed to do what I love and love what I do and I believe that we are never happier than when we are in the service of others. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Here’s my Best Day Ever!

In a season crowded with instant messages and same-day deliveries, a handwritten love note stands apart because it asks something rare of the writer: time, intention, and care. Especially when written in cursive, it becomes more than a message. It becomes a keepsake. Unlike a text or email, a handwritten love note has weight. You can hold it. You can fold it. You can keep it. Long after Valentine’s Day has passed, it can be tucked into a drawer or slipped between the pages of a book, waiting to be rediscovered. When it is found again, the words do not feel old. They feel preserved. Cursive a…

When computer science professor Randy Pausch stood before a packed lecture hall at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007, he was not speaking as a man defeated by terminal cancer, but as a man profoundly alive.

Pausch begins with humor, disarming the audience as he reveals his diagnosis. Yet from the moment he starts speaking, he transforms what could have been a somber farewell into a masterclass in optimism. His lecture—subtitled “Really Achieving Your Child…
