Mitch would think for a while, pondering over what I meant, and go back to coloring or playing Minecraft.  A little later, he would say, "Dad, do you mean ____

Mitch thought mycore was "really cool" and was excited to see how it could help people.  He never did get to see it come to fruition.

You will make mistakes, change your mind later on the wisdom of a decision, and hope to find better ways of doing something, but if you outline your values and determine the links to those values, the errors won’t count.
