"The liberals always think words and good intentions are reality...."

This is the underlying principle I tried to teach my kids:
"While I care because I'm your father, the world doesn't care what you think, and the world doesn't care how you feel. All the the world wants or needs from you is what you can do.

"So I will ask you every day; 'What did you accomplish today'? If you at least have a good answer for that, you'll be ahead of 90% of the rest of your peers".

The jury's still out, but in spite of all of contemporary society's attempts to the contrary, and for their youth (20 & 23) they are remarkably conservative.

"While I care because I'm your father, the world doesn't care what you think, and the world doesn't care how you feel. All the the world wants or needs from you is what you can do."

It's taken me a good while to know and realize this. Lots of my friend and family don't know or practice this. The "liberal" world is full of excuses.

You're a good, smart father.
