[quote=Anonymous]Be frugal, be punctual, and do a good job at work (don't half a$$ it and do bare minimum). I passed that on to my kids. Also they did not teach me this, but I saw them be kind to strangers. There was a utility worker working alone outside in the heat, and my parents gave him something to drink and eat. He was so appreciative. My parents are immigrants and don't speak English, and they did not have much, but they know what it is like to toil in the hot sun. I was in ES/MS when this happened, and I will always remember that moment. I did the same for a day laborer who was working in our yard to clear the trees after a big storm. I hope my kids learn compassion from me, if nothing else.[/quote]
