I looked through my late dad's diary and I found something that hit me so hard. I’ve never shared this before on LinkedIn.
Every year since 2012, we hold a memorial in his remembrance.
In preparation for this year, I visited my family home, and while looking through his archives, I found his old journal.
He wrote down some deep lessons and each one felt like he was speaking directly to me.
It reads ...
📍While making money, make a difference.
📍While building wealth, build relationships.
📍While aiming for the top, remain humble.
📍While seeking profit, offer value.
📍While growing your network, deepen your connections.
