Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Sincere Belief Again

I wanted to resend you the note about sincere belief.  You should always remember the strong, unwavering sincere belief that we have in you.  You will always win big because of who you are and how you apply yourselves to the opportunities you get.   There is no magic or luck here, it is all you.

Make it a point to recognize this in yourselves and watch things take off for you.  It is always good to have grace and modesty but never, ever let that sincere belief in yourself waiver.

Not seeing you everyday always sucks but it reminds me of that ship saying (which I have updated)

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone says: 
"She is gone"
And I say:

"You are a dick"
Because for me she is just as large now as when I last saw her and her size has not diminished
For me, she is never lost from my sight

And just at that moment, when the dick that said she is gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout: 

"There she comes! "
And I turn to them and say "For me
.. me she never left"

Love Dad
