I had the pleasure of hearing Canadian astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield speak this week. There are so many nuggets of wisdom that have been rolling around in my brain formulating themselves into this article. Even though it was fun and surreal to hear about his crazy adventures up in space, and being the first Canadian to walk [...]
