Father's Day is a time to celebrate the men in our lives who have impacted us the most. There is so much that we have learned from our fathers that we will pass down to future generations. Here at the Marketing Squad, we have gathered together some of the most important things our fathers taught us, so that we can thank them for helping us get to where we are now:

"Excuse others for what they say out of anger, but never think that emotion justifies saying something you'll regret later." - Josh Ahlers

"My dad taught me to always follow your dreams and don’t be afraid to fail. One of our favorite quotes is by Walter Bagehot, 'The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.'" - Penny Arnold

"Work hard and don't draw attention to it. Persistence --- quiet strength that outlasts everyone else." - Wayne Cox

"Stay humble and show grit. Execute and do YOUR job." - Anna Kate Delavan

"Listen to others and think before you speak. It's better to be silent than say something you'll regret." - Jessie Devine

"You do what it takes to get it done. I remember a season where my parents decided for my mom to stay home with me and my two siblings. My dad took on a second and occasionally a third part-time job to make sure we were provided for. He taught me so much about working hard and having the humility to take on jobs that were not so glamorous. I am so grateful for those life lessons." - Joel Gerdis

"Put in the work and don't give up when it starts getting difficult, because that's when you know you're working toward something great." - Erin Coffee

"My dad has always had amazing energy and such a positive outlook on work and life. I always admired his drive and how he would come home from a long day at work ready to pour into his family. He taught me the value of hard work and the importance of loving people. The combination of both are what has made him so successful as a businessman. Bryce, the owner who I work the most with, reminds me of my dad in his work ethic and enthusiasm when it comes to relationships and his family." - Ellie Mann

"My father taught me to work hard and make sure that I leave work each day with the knowledge that I accomplished something, even if it went perfect or completely wrong, just keep learning and striving to do my best." - Kristina Mobley

"From observing my dad I learned the value of working consistently, day after day, week after week and year after year. And I saw the path toward saving, deferring gratification and ultimately retiring."

"From observing my stepdad I learned about operating a business, taking risks and getting comfortable with hard work. I also saw what extra income can provide." - Bryce Raley

"My dad taught me to look forward and don't let the past hold you back. He always said, 'There are no marks on tomorrow.'" - Adam Robinson

"Build relationships by truly caring about others first and foremost." - Jay Stewart

"Say what you mean and mean what you say." - Sarah Stewart

"Family is everything." - Wesley Ware

 

Thank you to all the fathers out there who have passed on their knowledge and given their children the love and support they needed. It doesn't matter if a father is biological, or simply a father figure and mentor, the life lessons learned are irreplaceable. Thank you for showing us what a true father should be.
