My Dad is a great guy. Because we're so much alike, a lot of times we don't get along, or we butt heads. Nevertheless, I've always respected him, and strived to be like him. I hope that one day I can look back on my life and see that it's as accomplished as his. That I've done as much good as he has.
In honor of Father's Day [which is really a Hallmark holiday, I am aware] I am going to post the email that my father just sent me:
I was reflecting on our career discussions of the last few days. Discussions which I always enjoy, by the way. And thinking about my conversations with my father. Obviously, I didn't talk as much with him as we do. I only really remember vividly 2 pieces of advice:
1. If it were fun, they wouldn't call it work.
2. Be nice to the people on your way up, you will see the same people on the way down.
The first was kind of depressing so I have tried not to acknowledge it - but I have found the second piece of advice useful.
Have a nice day.
Love,
Dad
I love you too, Dad
