People ask my why I work so hard. Motivation is key. My wife and I lived with rats in the walls and ceiling, with fleas in our bed biting us at night. We went a week with no food except bagels the local gas station threw away. When you’ve been that poor, you WANT to work hard.

Very true. Discipline and appreciation without spoiling.

When the market crashed in 08 I was glad to have spent the previous decade in a trade that would keep my growing family with shelter and food. meant 8 to 12 hours of sleep per week to work the two full time jobs I had, but I never looked at it as anything other than a commitment.

That’s solid dedication to fatherhood. You have my utmost respect.
