I was teaching a group of ladies bridge. Mostly well-to-do, children grown, retired....ready to take up a new hobby. I said to them - "What if I had told you when your kids were in Middle School that I could teach them a game that they would have fun learning and playing and that, IF they really liked it and kept on with it, they would have the chance to meet leaders of industry, business, education and philanthropy in a social setting and talk with them on an equal footing...what would you have said".
the answer was a resounding "Sign me up!"
The game is Bridge. If you play duplicate bridge at tournament level you will meet people from all walks of life. For the time you are at their table you are equals...they won't care how much money you have, who your family is, or where you come from. What will matter to them is your manners, your ability and how you handle adversity and success.
How can today's parents overlook the possibilities this offer for their children's success?
