There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.

My father told me, “If only you would realize that life is hard, how easy it would be for you.” He also told me, “Never stick your hand in any place you can’t see.” Both sayings have served me well.

My father always told me I wouldn’t amount to anything because I was such a procrastinator. I would tell him, “just wait and see”.

My father hated Jane Fonda and most Democrats, so despite his many other failings, I guess I did learn a lot.

It appears so far, judging by the comments so far, some were not as well blessed with a Father like mine.

I, on the other hand, feel like I have done very poorly. I did not manage to teach my children this.... that life is full of Bull and if you don’t learn to cope with it you will fail. You can’t run fast enough or far enough or hide deep enough to get away from it unless you resolve to be a hermit. Even then there are the elements and the general struggles of life.

The three things I admire most about my father is he always treated my mother with respect,he worked hard (damn hard) and he had a heart as big as all outdoors.To whatever degree I can be called a respectable man...99% of the credit goes to my mother and father.They taught me well...both with words and by example.

Here is what my father told me....

“Do what is right , in spite of what is popular...”
&
“Don’t dip your pen in company ink, the mess isn’t worth it...”

Both have served me well, however their have been consequences to doing the ‘right’ thing vs. the ‘popular’ thing...
