Being self employed, I can identify with #11, and #12. I also find a lot of truth in your last point: "Hard work may make you tired, but it’s a good tired." My dad (and mom) taught us that no matter what job we had, no matter how menial it seemed, always give it our very best. By doing so, I was often advanced from the bottom, up. <em>Barbara Swafford's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bloggingwithoutablog/DWWZ/~3/312804669/' rel="nofollow">Most Bloggers Are Quitters - Are You</a></em> Hi Karl,

Your dad sounds like a wonderful human being. I love #23: "You can enjoy your work or you can think about going out tonight. It’s up to you." He's right; many of us can be happy right now if we just make that choice. And it sounds like being a team player served him well.
