Happy Veterans Day! Semper Fi! I feel as though I can speak that phrase whole-heartedly! I might be up in age, but I will always and forevermore be a child of a career Marine (Yep, 20 years from Enlisted to Officer!). The sense of duty to complete a task to the best of your abilities was a major directive of our home. My father had no tolerance for someone, anyone doing a task “half-a**”. He felt if that was your mindset, then you might as well not do the task. As a teenager, you can imagine what I thought of this mandate.
Over the years though, I’ve had a few co-workers, colleagues, and friends that didn’t live by this mandate. I have been totally perplexed by their behavior and choices. As I was redoing or correcting a task, I found myself thinking, “If you’re going to do the task “half-a**” then don’t do it”.
So Dad, you were right after all.
a humbled daughter, who knows Dad is smiling in heaven, turning to my Mom,
One should have pride in completing
a task to the best of their abilities
and definitely not “half-a**”!
