101 Life Lessons According to Dad - H Thorp Minister
Daddy
Life Lesson #1
Live Your Life on Your Terms not Someone Else’s
You can watch the parade that is life -- and live vicariously through others, as many do -- or you can get in and participate in your own journey. And the best time to go for broke is when you are already there!
— Jonathan Goldsmith
Life Lesson #2
He Who Pays The Rent Calls The Shots
Until you have the capacity to earn enough money to afford your own place to live, you have to live by someone else’s rules.

Life Lesson #3
Learn to Say No
to Someone and Not Feel Guilty About it
One of the toughest things to do in life is to tell someone No!
There are a lot more takers in the world than givers. Set your boundaries and stand firm. Otherwise, the takers will bleed you dry!

Although you may make what seems to be a good choice at that moment in time, chances are you will make the wrong choice 70% of the time. Don’t beat yourself up over this! Remember, an All-Star baseball player bats .300! This means he fails to get on base 7 out of 10 at bats. Don’t be a Monday morning quarterback and second guess your choices. Do the best you can. Sometimes you can’t pick a winner in a two horse race!
There is a fabulous book written by Shad Helmstetter called Choices. Read it! When you’re finished, read it again!
Life Lesson #5
Avoid Making Your Kids Feel Guilty
Make a promise to yourself you will avoid making your child feel guilty. As a parent, nothing is more cruel than using your child as a pawn against a former spouse or ex-lover.
The long term fallout
