My favorite uncle gave me several good pieces of advice: If all you do is your job, all you will get out of it is paid. And if you take a job for money you will never make enough, if you work at something you enjoy you will make plenty because you will be good at what you do. Ed B

An uncle once told me, "When you visit someone, it's not what you bring that matters; it's who you bring. "

Back late 1993, my father told me to get a Cummins Dodge (he has a 1990 D350), but I bought a 1993 Chevy. By April 1995, I traded it on my Cummins Dodge.



I guess I had to learn the hard way...

I have to give my mother some credit on one. When I was deciding on not going to college because I wanted get a job and some money, she commented... "You can be poor for 4 years, or you can be poor for 40. "

My dad was a huge supporter of the "earn" not "give", thank God for that. Any time I would say I "want" something he would laugh and say "want in one hand, and ---- in the other, see what one fills up first!" I learned to always work hard for something i wanted rather than sit around and whine about it.

My dad, bless his heart, turns 93 this year and always had a word of wisdom (or two)for me and my siblings. The one that has always stuck with me is when he told us that was to think of life as the pack of sled dogs pulling the sleds in the artic... . unless you are the lead dog, the view never changes.
