From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.

I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
Reality - Life's Left-Overs Suck!

Those who believe they are not worthy to sit at the table must be satisfied with crumbs left behind.
If you cannot muster up the courage and go for what you want, you limit your choices to whatever's left over after everyone else has chosen.
End Result? A life of silent desperation.

I challenge everyone to make that courageous choice.
You know the one I'm talking about, don't you? That scary decision that doesn't guarantee you're gon'na get what you want.
That frightening unknown territory that makes you want to scurry back to familiar misery and well-known mediocrity.
Do it anyway.

Just do it!
You'll be surprised to find out that 99.9% of the bad things you envisioned was an illusion.
Have the strength (and sense of humor) to be the enigma.
Then you can truly dance with the universe.

And it only gets better and better from there...

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
