Lessons My Father Taught Me
- Treat your loved ones the way you would want them to treat you.
- Never allow anyone to blame you for something you didn’t do or to label you as something you are not.
- Children do not ask to be born. If you have a child then that child becomes your number one responsibility and your number one priority.
- You can get much more accomplished when you can make the other party believe that your idea was really their idea in the first place.
- You are entitled to nothing in this life. Least of all respect. If you want something—go out and earn it. And respect is the most difficult and the most precious of things to be earned.
- If you want something done right—do it yourself.
- Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.
- Make all your friends believe that there is something special in them.
- Don’t dwell on past failures and setbacks. Press on to the greater achievements of the future.
- Never be satisfied. There is always room for improvement.
- Hug and kiss your kids as often as you can.
- Keep your word.
- Choke up with two strikes and always hit the cut-off man.
- In your heart be at peace with the Lord.
