My parents always went to work.

I know they didn’t always get a full night of sleep. I’m sure they didn’t always feel great physically or mentally. They didn’t always even have a car. But having kids to raise and a family to support, they always went to work and got the job done.

What I admire most is that they never told us what they were doing. There was never a sit-down lecture about hard work and discipline.

But I got the message.
