First and foremost, my parents taught me to save money... and, not just whenever possible but to put savings in the budget as a line item so to speak.
Second... my parents taught me to eat everything on my plate, only order in restaurants that food which you are going to eat... and, make sure leftovers are eaten before new food is prepared.
Third... to put my faith in God and to live my life with my Christian Faith in my mind at all times.
Fourth... never ask anyone to do anything that you could not do better yourself.
Fifth... give 110% in everything that is done.
Sixth... follow the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Seventh... stand by my convictions/integrity regardless of the outcomes and costs.
Eighth... stay active in that the idle mind is the devil's workshop.
Ninth... always have an appreciation for THE ARTS.
Tenth... the knowledge gained from education is power.
