"My Grandmothers could not have been more different."
"Grandma Jeanne Kaad was the daughter of a world famous cinematographer
who spent winters in Florida as a child, had housekeepers, and read Ayn
Rand."
"Grandma Katherine Garratt was the daughter of Scottish immigrant
farmers who didn’t have electricity until 1956, running water until
1962, and read Harold Robbins (Heaven help us)."
"The Kaads were entrepreneurs, the Garratts were farmers. "
"Jeanne was a thinker. Katherine was tough."
"Jeanne was a pillar of positive reinforcement. Katherine was more
‘Don’t get your hopes up, boy’."
"Jeanne was a coach, Katherine was a goaltender."
"But despite these two women’s differences – and the fact that they
could hardly stand each other – from two completely different set of
life references they handed down similar truths that have never failed
me:"
"Read constantly."
"If something’s blocking the way, your life is still your
responsibility, so you’d better figure it out."
"Don’t quit. Keep kicking. The world is full of broken quitters. Don’t
be them."
"Life may not be fair, but it’s still worth doing."
"Roll up your sleeves and get cracking."
“It’s the greatest endowment of that generation: a Work Ethic.”
