My little brother Dave celebrated his birthday last week, and in typical fashion I reflected on our relationship and decided to make some content out of it.

On top of that, Australia celebrated our national day of recognition for service men and women from past and present - ANZAC day. It is a special day of remembrance where we all take a moment to consider the sacrifices of those who have gone before us, and what the value of freedom really is.

In relation to David, he’s someone I’ve always respected immensely. At times I probably haven’t shown it, but such is the burden of immaturity and a lack of self awareness ie. we hurt people close to us without realising it.

As we have gotten older and developed into men, our relationship has developed as well. I was the best man at his wedding, he was the person I have turned to in some of my darkest moments etc etc.

So, the 3 things that I have picked up from my brother Dave over the years are:

* The power of self awareness

* David took the cards he had been dealt and decided to play them in his own fashion - something that was amazing then and still amazes me to this day.

* The power of knowledge acquisition

* He has always been and still is one of the best sources of knowledge acquisition for me as he has always been so well read and genuinely cares about consistently levelling up his mind.

* The power of being a man

* Rolling your sleeves up when the going gets tough, doing the work that is required whilst maintaining a delicate touch, Dave has always possessed these traits and has shown me the essence of my favourite definition of being a man.

Happy birthday Davo - love from your big bro!
