I’m not sure if my mom ever said these words directly, but this is definitely something I learned from her. We didn’t have a ton growing up, but because of my parents’ sacrifice, hard work, and resourcefulness, we always had more than enough. They worked hard to provide a better upbringing for us than they had, despite the hardships life consistently threw at them. We all face difficulties, but they seem to come in extra doses for some. The ability to make the most of any situation, rather than seeing yourself as a victim of it, is one of the most important things I learned from my mom. It turns out to be a pretty powerful lesson in leadership and company building as well. P.S. Happy birthday, mom!
