Hard work is an important lesson to pass on to the kiddos, but it seems like a strong passion for what you’re doing is, at least, equally important…if not more…probably more.

And a great example of hard work is Mr. Rogers.

Who woulda thunk it? The Dude’s second reference to Mr. Rogers? I didn’t know I had such an affinity for the kind hearted soul.

Wild, I know.

P.S.  – You should check out Kottke.org. A great blog covering a wide variety of topics. That’s where I strolled across 1., 2., & 3. at different times.
