Once upon a time there was a family of 7 people they all grew up in a very small house.............. Their father was very resourceful even though he didnt make very much money........ Not only was he in the US military but he was also a pizza delivery driver on top of that......... Many years later the fathers hard work ethics have rubbed off on each one of the five children.............. Each one of them splitting off and heading in theyre own direction......... And each one of them practicing precisely what he had taught the hard work ethics that they had constantly seen over the years............ The morals and values the principal understanding how 7 people can live in such a tiny space and yet still be thankful for what they have........... One brother became a truck driver had joined the US military was diesel mechanic had done several trade skills went to college........ His older sister also was in the US military and also went to school for night classes to become an EMT......... Another brother when to work for a union for a trucking company............ One of the sisters worked in a nursing home............ And the last brother which was the middle child........ Became a highly valuable skill trade technician. ................. For those out there who dont know our story ........... There is so much more each one of us have learned to be frugal in our own ways............... And each one of us have experienced hardships that most people out there who read this would never understand........... Theres an important moral to this story that moral is this money doesnt fix everything in fact for the most part money only always makes things worse..... Each of us have learned this our own way weve all stepped back and saw what it has done to either friends or relatives........ Money cant make cookies from scratch ........ With your 5 year old and your wife playing freeze tag with cookie dough all over your hands.......... it cant be there for your childs concert...... It cant be there for their first football game.... It cant be there for the first time when the training wheels come off the bike and you see that self confidence building up within your child as youre smiling looking back at you .......... It cant teach the child that money is not as important is being happy................... Our father taught us this........ It can teach other people the value of a human being and their dedication and hard work and truly how valuable that person and that no one person is replaceable sure you may hire another person as an employer or as a co-worker you may work with another person but they will not be as dedicated and hardworking as intelligent creative nor will anyone else be as sincere as anyone in my family................ Each one of us are different in our own way......... But make no mistake......... If it ever came to any of us having to stand on their own and become independent and create our own business we could do it....... Why???? Why do we each choose to work for other people....... Not because we dont have the ability to work independently for ourselves..... It is because our the loyalty.... And please dont try to be like so many other people a mistake it for stupidity ..... Some people will never understand that because they are looking to fill a void that is a black hole they always need more. ......... It definitely reminds me of one of our relatives hes a dentist and he doesnt give a crap about anything except for his money ......... And my response to that is good for those who enjoy trying to get more and be greedy........ Just remember you cant take any of it with you when you die . ........ And just because someone else has more doesnt mean they win........... It just means they chose to take on a lot more burden than a normal person would want and besides the man who dies the richest is the one who dies with the most memories not the most money .... this message I shared with each one of my family members on their facebooks
