If you're are going to do a job...

My dad was an immigrant to this country. He came from Switzeralnd after World War II. He went and was an interpreter with the US military at the war trials in Nuremberg, came to Detroit with some of the soldier he had met there, who sponsored him in this country, went to work at Ford Motor Company, was there for 30 years. Never finished high school never went to college, but he had a simple model: "If you're going to do a job, do a job. If you're not going to do a job, don't do a job".

You could say, okay, that's probably a good thing to tell a 10-year-old, but what it really came to mean to me was that if you want to accomplish anything at all. you've got to be commited, you've got to be motivated, you've got to be tenacious, you've got to be smart. And, of course, that's not really just my dad's message to me and my sister as we were growing up: it's really the essence of American work ethic, and I think it's been passed down to millions of American children every generation.
