		<title>Attitudes to failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of us do not dare try something different or something out of the ordinary simply because of the fear of failing. I know I have had countless experiences that later in life I would slap myself for not daring to try. I was sent a video today which encapsulated the need for us to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A dad&#8217;s relationship with his daughter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone once told me that women unknowingly look for potential husbands in men who possess certain characteristics of their fathers, especially fathers whom they relate well to, love and respect. To put it plainly, fathers give their daughter a baseline reference of what is possible in a relationship with a man.
Hey dads, where will our [...]]]></description>

		<title>The value of thrift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am very thankful J has been quite a thrifty girl. I think my wife has done a commendable job teaching and influencing her!
I have never had to grapple or struggle with &#8216;buy me this, daddy&#8217; type of requests from my daughter and really that is such a great blessing. I am heartened to know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is there a dad out there who hates his day job?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hesitated for days before I plucked up the courage to write this post on a topic that touches me in a deep way. Just in case the title is still not crystal clear, yes I struggle big time with my day job. And I hope that this would encourage another dad out there facing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you a hero, dad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered why there are so many comic book characters about heroes and their colossal battle against evil? Probably every culture has a tale or 2 of great men (and women, but since we are a site about dads &#8230;) who did great things for the good of the common people.

		<title>Slow down if you want to be a Better Dad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The pace of our lives today seem to be embodied in the words *instant*, *fast*, *express*. Weird as it seems, a big part of this phenomena has been perpetuated by technology and especially the Internet (don&#8217;t get me wrong I use and I like the Internet). More than ever, we want everything NOW. We are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most life-altering experience that any man can have must surely be the moment he becomes a first time dad.  
I can still recall what it was like being a first-time father, getting the baby bag packed and ready for rushing to the hospital at a moment&#8217;s notice. Anxiety pangs about whether it would be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have just watched Wall.E with J and you probably know as well as I do, that it is rare to find a good movie with great values these days.

		<title>Help! My daughter is growing up too fast.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sometimes close my eyes and recall what it was like catching the first glimpse of J the very moment she was born.
That little baby and the whole bundle of excitement culminating in that feeling of &#8220;This is it!&#8221;. It still felt as fresh as if it had happened yesterday. I remember when my mum [...]]]></description>
