2 things:

1. Never forget where you came from;

2. Wherever you go in life -NEVER, EVER FORGET WHAT GOT YOU THERE (good or bad!)!

Many-an-Alcoholic, and many people who came out of “The Great-Depression” share one common mistake:

When life got better they either stopped doing what got them their (in the case of the Alcoholic) or, they failed to “Pass It On” (<-interesting turn-of-phrase for non-alcoholics) to their children. In the case of those coming out of the tremendous struggle during “The Great-Depression”, they failed to pass-on to their children… when they said, “My children are not going to grow up, and go thru what my generation went thru” they essentially took away the struggles -> that build the type of character -> this great country was founded upon! And you end up with what we see now:

•Grown adults -twenty and thirty-somethings living at home with their parents (whatever happened to wanting to get out of the house, so you can have your own freedom, and your own privacy, make a family of your own);

•They want to start at the top (in many, but not in all cases), as opposed to the bottom -and work their way up (no longer willing to pay their dues).
