Work

Work was good today, and I used to hate working for the family business. We install and fix Air Conditioning by the way. I've never stopped and really appreciated it until today. 

My Pops is a go getter, and even though the economy ain't what it used to be he went out and got us some work. I didn't realize until today that I could've learned a lot from my Pops. Yeah nobody's perfect, and my Dad is far from perfect. His disorganized which makes the work vehicles really messy, people may say that a lot of things he does is wrong, but he gets things done. He's an entrepreneur, and he doesn't take no for an answer. He's worked for other companies but couldn't do it. He saw that he was losing money buy working a regular job. I don't blame him, and now that I've shown him that I have the desire to do great things he's starting to give me incentives at work. It's a good learning experience, and I've always seen it as a drag. After today I feel like an idiot, but I know what to do to make it right. Maybe I could show my Pops some things?

I remember being pissed when I was a young kid because my Pops was always working, and I had to learn to do a lot of things on my own. We're talking about playing basketball, working out, and figuring out life on my own. Time that could've been spent with my Dad, but what I didn't understand was that he was trying to make our lives better. He didn't know about leverage back then so he felt that he to work as hard as his employees to make it happen. Now, over years of experience he knows the power of leverage, and he uses it to it's full advantage. Now he's able to really make money, and he does everything in his power to make it happen. 

I've learned to forgive him in the past for things he's done, and that's part of growing as person.
