Work hard, think smart, life is a relay
It was a curious moment to hear my 7 year old niece state that nooo… she is never getting married. I told her off. “If your mom and dad did not marry, you wouldn’t be here. If grandma and grandpa didn’t marry, your dad wouldn’t be here and you wouldn’t be here. Be thankful to all those ancestors that worked hard and smart to make and raise all those children so that you would be born.”
That would be the best way to honor our ancestors, take the batton from their hand and run as fast as you can. Life is a relay race. Do not drop that batton. Finish your part of the race. Pass on that batton to the next generation. Your children.
