When an eight year old is man of the house. This is the time when uncles are suppose to step up and give guidance to a young boy who has lost ed his father. Without positive guidance in his life, what chance has he or his brother or sister have to be a part of the success statistics. Because we don't know when our life will end, fathers should give his son or sons and daughters something to refer to when things aren't happening just the way they planned them. Here is what was passed to little j. It's not the answer to all the questions he may ask, but it's something his father lived by. He will still need the support of his uncles and positive figures in his life, but his dad did leave him the one sheet of paper he always carried in his wallet and shared with friends. The paper was given to little j's father by an uncle.
It's called Dad's Philosophy...Some of my favorite quotes.
1. My Race: It's better to be hated for what you are, then to be loved for what you are not.
2. The world is full of problems, the way you handle them is how you define yourself.
3. Socrates..There is only one good KNOWLEDGE and one evil IGNORANCE
4. Core Values..Honor, Courage, Commitment
A strong gift to face life without a father.
