On his deathbed, legendary innovator and business leader Steve Jobs expressed regret in not being a better father. I admire Steve for what he did in the business world and I also want to learn from his regrets.
I have a lot of weaknesses and failures and I'm sure I'll have my own regrets, but at the end of my life, one that I don't want to have is that I missed my opportunity to be a great dad.
For this reason I try and surround myself with great dads from whom I can learn. Tony Gillard, father of 3, one of which has had 4 open heart surgeries, is from whom I learn regularly.
