What 3 compelling things did your dad do well when raising you? Part 1.

3 Things:

1.  He loved me unconditionally, he taught me, “yagottawanna”,

2. He let me work along side him in the yard and shop.

3. Silent commraderie got us through a lot of difficult times!

3 Things:

1. My father modeled kindness.
2. He treated my mother with respect.
3. He stood for something, even if it hurt him personally or politically.

He instilled a fierce desire in me to be neither sick, poor, or unschooled. All of which he grew up with and could not stand to see carried on into future generations. Sick because illness we bring upon ourselves, poor because no man owes another a living, and unschooled because nobody can take away an education. He was, and still is, a devout individualist.

3 Things:

1) You need to “get out of your skin” every once in a while and take a look around. If you like your life the way it is – good! If not, you better fix it!

2) The best opportunities come out of left field. Everyone gets opportunities – EVERYONE – but you have to be ready to take advantage of them. The best opportunities come when you least expect them and may be least prepared to take advantage of them, but the most successful people go for it when they come around!

3) Do what you love – the money will follow.

3 things:

1.  He said to always “Leave the camp site better than when we found it.”

This means to always improve things rather than merely use things.

2. Democracy is for those who participate. Be active in our democracy or it will die.

3. Always do something whether it’s school, work, travel. Don’t be complacent.

3 Things:

1. He included me in his projects without being patronizing. he depended on me to help wash the car and he didn’t let anyone else redo my work.
2. He had me do a demonstration to his sales team of how he wanted them to memorize a presentation.
3. Most valuable: he was passionate and committed to his values and demonstrated that to me every day with his words and actions. He was who he was with me all the time and I trusted him.
Wow!  thanks guys……
