Per a request to copy this to Forum. Wishing all who have lost loved ones well! …
My dad had flaws but he was one of the most disciplined men I know. These were his self rules.
Finish what you started.
Help others. Ask for help from others.
Don’t solve problems solo if someone else can help.
Have pride in your work.
Have pride in your appearance.
Don’t seek praise. Just do a great job
If you don’t like your job, finish it well, then move on.
Where you went to school doesn’t matter. Your knowledge doesn’t matter. What you DO matters. How you treat others matters.
Learn to fix things. Don’t just dispose and buy new.
Build and make things with your hands.
Learn discipline for your body and your mind.
A full stomach makes for a lazy mind.
Screens weaken the mind. Don’t waste your time and put garbage in your mind.
Stay rooted in reality.
Study biographies. Learn from others who came before you.
Live life as an adventure.
No excuses. Fix yourself to fix your life.
Remembering my dad who passed a few years ago but hopefully his lessons remain as seeds in me.
