So much wisdom in this piece. These are great principles to live by when building a company, a family, or a community.
- thrift is the precursor to prosperity
- we all need to work together to be successful
- cannot spend more than you earn
- initiative and independence build character and courage
- teach a man to fish and he will fish for a life time
As I prepare for the birth of my first child in September, these are the lessons that must be taught to provide them any chance of success. Imagine a child raised on these five principles, how different would our world be if we reverted back to good old fashioned common sense.
