7.22.13 Lessons learned from my mother

Some of the most important lessons that I have learned in life were from the same person, my wonderful mother. 1) Treat everyone with respect - thank you, please, yes ma'am and no sir. 2) Care for those less fortunate than you - doesnt matter how they got there or what they do with your "gift". 3) Like people for who they are - not their financial position, race, gender, sexual orientation or the way they look. The cliche - its whats inside that counts - is true. 4) God and family always come first. No explanation needed. 5) Work hard and give it your best no matter what you do. A day worker or a CEO - as long as you do your very best. My mother, my teacher, my friend. I love you!
