Lessons my parents taught me...


In victory, humility
In defeat, resolve

In happiness, thanks
In sorrow, perspective

In pain, strength
In pleasure, grace

At the bottom, hope
At the top, vision

In despair, inspiration
In jubilation, retrospection

In wealth, thrift
In poverty, determination

In loneliness, memories
With family and friends, time

In hunger, perseverance
In abundance, share

In folly, lessons
In wisdom, principles

In friendship, honesty
In enmity, honor

In diversity, understanding
In complexity, simplicity

In doubt, faith
In hopelessness, confidence

In youth, accomplishment
In old age, no regrets

In life, love
In death, a legacy
