My Dad always told me that pure luck doesn’t bring you success in life. It takes hard work and perseverance. That’s why no matter what job you have right now, you have to work hard to be the best at it.

The word, “hate” is a very strong word and we should never “hate” ….especially another person. We may “strongly dislike” a person’s behavior, but we never “hate” the actual person. To this day, I am very aware of the use of that word. My Dad may not be present here on Earth to celebrate Father’s Day this year, but his lessons and his love will live on forever!

My Dad was very successful in the Pharmaceutical industry and when I went into the working world, one of the things he always said was, ‘Rise Above It, Deb.’ He meant, rise above drama and pettiness and stay focused on what is important. He has always been an inspiration to me. Hardest working man I’ve ever known!

One big thing that my dad always told me growing up is to never depend on anyone else but myself and to never ever give up on anything that I set my mind to. My Dad has been through a lot in his lifetime and in the end he has always prevailed. I have always looked up to him and the things that he taught me. He will forever be my hero.

A major life lesson that I learned from my father can be summed up in the final verse of the Rudyard Kipling poem, “If”: If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

“My Dad and his words of wisdom to me have been rich and everlasting. The one phrase that sticks with me is: ‘Life is not a Dress rehearsal’ meaning, make the most of your opportunity as you may only have one shot to make it happen. Sometimes there is no second chance…do it now before you don’t have the opportunity.”

He lived a life that left a legacy … He taught me to believe in the goodness of mankind and to appreciate nature. My Dad was the first man I fell in love with. He showed me that love is magical, it runs wide, deep and it is forever.

My Father leads by example when it comes to generosity. He is generous with his time, with his love, with his counsel, with his money, and with his friendship. Whenever he encounters a need, an outstretched hand, or someone asking for help he gives, and does, whatever he can.
