Advice To My Sons

Have confidence that you can be the best in all you’ll do, my son. Don’t go out thinking mediocrity or that’s what you’ll become. And don’t assume your work is done. and don’t assume you have it made; there’s always someone climbing rungs who can make a better grade. And never dare an idle hand, and never chance an idle mind; change you need to understand or you will be left far behind. Don’t break the rules until you’ve followed, don’t make up rules you can’t abide; never think your skills are hallowed and don’t reject advice for pride. Don’t toe a line you cannot see, don’t push unless you can be shoved; don’t cower from adversity just wrap yourself in an armor of love.
