I'm Watching You Dad

This video is not just for Dads- everyday someone is watching us, how we treat others, our work ethic, the time we spend with our children, how we stand up for what is right and the choices we make. I get so tired of only hearing of those men who make stupid decisions- selfish decisions and forget about the ripple effects so many innocent people- there are so many who we never hear of, who are hero's. I have many in my life who set an example for me. Thank You. I Am Watching You.

I received a devotional from Dennis Rainey that I would like to post below;

11 Rules on Marriage You Won't Learn in School by Dennis Rainey
For many years, e-mails have circulated the country with the outline of a speech attributed to Microsoft founder Bill Gates titled "11 Things You Will Not Learn in School About Jobs." It turns out that Gates never wrote these words or delivered the speech--it was all taken from an article written by Charles J. Sykes in 1996. And it really doesn't matter that Gates wasn't involved, because the piece does a great job of unmasking how feel-good, politically-correct teachings have created a generation of kids with a false concept of reality.

I thought I'd not only pass on these rules, but also make a few of my own--on life.
First, here are the 11 rules of life that you won't learn in school:
Rule 1: Life is not fair--get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will not make $60,000 per year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping--they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault. So don't whine about your mistakes; learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you "find yourself." Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is not real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one
