You have got to work your way up- hard and continuously. So we need to teach our children--by example--not to be lazy, to do their homework, to pay attention to detail, to take care and pride in work, to be reliable, and not to wobble and jerk through life. Each of us must take the initiative to create our opportunities, not waiting around for favors. We must not assume a door is closed but must push on it. We must not assume if it was closed yesterday that it's closed today.

Lesson 2: Set goals and work ouietly and systematically toward them. We mustalltry to resistquick-fix, simplistic answer and easy gains, which often disappear just as quickly as they come. Don't feel compelled to talk if you don't have anything to say that matters. It's all right to feel important if it is not at the expense of doing important deeds. You can achieve much in life if you don't mind doing the work and give others the credit Lesson 3: Assign yourself.

Don't wait around for your boss or your co-worker or spouse to direct you to do what you are able to figure out and do for yourself. Don't do 'ust as little as you can to get y. There is nothing more wearing than people who have to be asked or reminded to do things repeatedly. Hard work, initiative, and persistence are still the non-magic carpets to success. Lets each commit to help teach the rest of the country how to achieve again by our example.

Lesson 4: Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or build a decent family or help yu sleep at night We are the richest nation on earth, yet our incarceration, drug addiction, and child poverty rates are among the highest in the industrialized world. Don't condone or tolerate moral corruption whether it's found in high or low places, whatever its color. It is not okay to push or use drugs even if every person in America is doing it It is not okay to cheat or lie even if countless corporate or public officials and everybody you know do.
