Sunday is Father’s Day. A day we celebrate dear old dad. At EngineerYourLife, we’re celebrating all the dads out there that raised (and are raising) strong, smart and confident daughters.
The dads that teach their daughters when they hear “no” or “you can’t” to try again. The dads that march right up to the coach and ask why his girl can’t be on the team---and cheer the loudest when she hits her first homerun. The dad that brings home the college pamphlets, not for you, for him---so he can read up on how to help you prepare. The dad who works extra hours (and extra jobs) so he can help pay for said college. The dad who sits through the spelling bee, the math Olympics, the cello concert, the school production of The Princess and the Pea, and the presentation of your erupting volcano at the science fair. All in one month.
Here at Engineer Your Life, we’ve got a crew of dads who have been handing us jewels of wisdom for years.
Here are some of our favorites, in no particular order.
- 99% of success in life is showing up
- Get a library card
- Don’t be an island. Life (and engineering!) works best when shared with others
- Anything he can do, you can do too
- Think like a turtle---slow and steady really does win the race
- If your date is rude to the waiter, dump him
- Pull your shoulders back
- Bring cab fare
- Sit in the front of the class
- Say please and thank you
- Being pretty makes you pretty: being smart makes you invincible
Thanks dad. We’ll remember that.
Dream big. Love What you do. (hmm, sounds like something our dads would say!)--Engineer Your Life.
