My father told my siblings and me the importance of postive values and a strong ethical compass. He show to us how to be resillient ,how to deal with challenges, and how to strive for excellence in all that we do. He taught us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we marry vision and passion with an enduring work ethic. One of my father 's greatest tallents is his ability to see potential in people before they see it in themselves, it was like that for us too, growing up .He taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort,and that like him we each had a responsibility to work not just for ourselves but for the betterment of the world around us.
