  1. Great dads are a key to success. Andrew has one and so did I. Nomad Dad talked about humility and character. I'm going to expand on that a bit by adding a couple of things my dad taught me; and which took me a while to really understand. "You never know who's watching you and you never know when and from where, opportunity may present itself." Out in the real world; the world of business and the world of life, you're going to cross paths with a LOT of people. Some you'll actually meet, most you won't but they could very well be observing you. If you stand out as either a good or a bad person, chances are, they'll remember you and if they happen to be someone in a position to benefit you, who knows where it could go. This is how my dad went from being a struggling auto mechanic to having a great lifelong career in a business he never would have pursued - because someone he didn't even know was observing him at work and liked the way he operated. It's also how I landed a really great retirement gig in a business I never would've considered. People you meet see you and are impressed with how you work and how you carry yourself could... right out of the blue... drop a dynamite opportunity in your lap. In both my dad's case and mine, if we'd been acting like jerks or displaying unfavorable personal characteristics.... getting angry, stressed out, losing our cool, not caring about our work... opportunities that we never even knew were waiting for us would've kept right on going and we'd never have even known. Have a great holidays, everyone!
