The Best Lesson your dad taught you???

Answer 1

My dad died when I was 18, and in the 2nd week of army boot camp.
He taught me 3 things I'd like to share.
1. Savor every moment you have with your loved ones, because someday they'll be gone, and always too soon.
2. Sometimes work can be more than work, sometimes it can be a calling. He was a union man that helped charter his union back in the early 1930's. He helped many a worker have a better life. It cost him any chance of professional development in his own carreer, and his 1st marriage.
3. This one's his own quote; "A stiff prick has no conscience." You can't wait until your member is saluting to decide weather to go for it or not. That decision has got to be made well in advance, while your clothes are still on, before the action begins. Do the right thing, stay healthy, stay clean.

Answer 2

many many things, class, respect, kindness, self pride, dignity, street smarts, friendship, loyalty, moral values...etc

but one thing I'll never forget that he taught me is (lol, no but seriously):

Befriend Blue Collar people...taxi cab drivers, busdrivers, bartenders, police, firemen, mail men etc because of the services they do for you, not only do they deserve it in return, but these are some of the best people to befriend because they are friendly people. Also, not to say you take advantage or anything, but you do get hooked up, my father is the prime example of this because he has so many blue collar friends, you get to talk to them, and free perks because they love you! trust me, he is absolutely right about this....without blue collar people, where would our world be? our economy is nothing without these folks that provide services. Befriend a ton of blue collared people and tell me he's wrong... I dare you. It's impossible. TRUST ME and take my advice, you can really fall back on these people in rough times and having these nice people and good friends of blue collared people, are worth keeping your whole life!!!

Answer 3

The best lesson I learned from my dad is not demontrated with his words but through his actions. He is a man with words of honor, patient, understanding, kind and helpful to other people.He is a man who live his life with integrity.

Answer 4

My dad taught me to be honest, faithful, and gentle to my family.
My dad left when I was 5 for another woman. Its true we really do learn by others mistakes.

Answer 5

What I learned from my father was how mean it is to take the low road during the divorce. He tried to trash my mother to me and my sisters and brother, and it worked with the two oldest, but not me and my other sister, because we lived with my mother, and we knew better. She took the high road and made a promise never to say anything bad about him whether we could hear her or not.

Answer 6

when talking to a guy, never ever tell him your about to take a shower or you just got out of the shower. They will end up thinking about it and thats not a good idea.

Answer 7

my dad always said that when he was a kid, my grampa told him this.....nothing lasts forever, so laugh it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bullshit, take chances, & never have regrets, because at one point, it was exactly what you wanted!!!"

Answer 8

to never let the fear of striking out keep you frm playing the game.

Answer 10
