fromSilicon Canals
3 days agoI kept a list of things I wanted to tell my children when they were old enough and by the time they were old enough I realized half the list was wrong - and the half that was wrong taught me more about who I'd become as a parent than the half that still held true - Silicon Canals
The stuff I thought mattered that really didn't. Top of my list, written in all caps and underlined twice: 'ALWAYS FINISH WHAT YOU START.' I hammered this into my boys from day one. Didn't matter if it was Little League, a school project, or learning to wire a three-way switch. You start it, you finish it. No exceptions. Know what that actually taught them? That being miserable was more important than being smart about your choices.
