Never does a body feel more alive than when its been put through a hard day's work. One thing my alcoholic dad taught us was to work hard. He also taught us several other things as well. Have a firm handshake, look people straight in the eye, if you want to have a friend--- be a friend first, courtesy is the only way to be, respect all your elders---especially your boss, honesty brings about trust.
All those things would have had a better impact, if my alcoholic dad had lived that in his own life. But, sadly, he fell short in all those areas. He just couldn't rise to the level of his own philosophies.
There was one piece of wisdom that allowed him this lack of follow-through in those areas of decent moral behavior. His most famous line to us, his four children was; "Do as I say. Not as I do."
Yeah, it worked (for him) every time...see
