To quote Ray Bradbury in Something Wicked This Way Comes:  “Everything that happens before Death is what counts.”

Wow!  How simple and profound.  Do you live your life as if it counts for something?  Do you have a passion?  Are you living your life for that passion?

My passion is best practices for SQL Server and I am taking a step forward in my professional development by putting together a presentation that I will submit to SQL Saturday Orlando.  I have struggled with this for sometime now and like most people I find it difficult to speak in front of audiences.  That is really sad, because from 1999 through 2001 I was a travelling consultant that would teach classes and present in front of total strangers.  As I moved away from that lifestyle, I became more of an introvert for some unknown reason and it is really difficult to break those chains.  So if my presentation is accepted and you attend my class, keep that in mind.  I welcome your advice and words of wisdom.

Enjoy!
