Lesson 5

Preparation

Work

“Love your work!”

That is what my mother and my wife
always tell me.

I work for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.

I sacrifice my quality time so I could feed my family,
pay the bills, and send my kids to a good school.

I am not complaining, nor am I lecturing; all I’m
telling you is that these are my responsibilities.

I do this because I love my work and my family.
