The simplest lessons are often the most difficult to learn and internalize to the limit of it becoming second nature ( or intuition ). Brilliant dad. What a great story. Thank you kindly.

Fathers are so, so, so important.. here's an interesting excerpt from the recent Steve Jobs bio :

" It was important, his father said, to craft the backs of cabinets and fences properly, even though they were hidden. He loved doing things right. He even cared about the look of the parts you couldn’t see. "[1]

Connect the above with the speech Johnny Ive gave at the recent memorial :

" we shared a giddy excitement spending months and months on a part of a product that nobody would ever see, well not with their eyes. "[2]
