A Burning Desire to Prove Dad Wrong . . .
I Can’t? Watch Me!
Today’s story is from Tom Hopkins, a national treasure, the Dale Carnegie of our times.
Dad, Les and his successful young son, Tom Hopkins.
As a student, I was never at the top of my class. Still, my parents struggled to save money to send me to college. I dutifully attended – for 90 days – then decided it wasn’t for me. I quit and went home.
After their sacrifice, my parents weren’t pleased with my decision. My father told me,
“Son, I will always love you. But, you will never amount to anything without a college education.”
