Father's Day is coming up this weekend. So I was wondering -- what's the best advice you ever received from your Dad? Or the best lesson you learned from him?
I think, for me, the lesson was to keep moving and stay active. My Dad is 91 and pretty much does whatever he wants --swims half a mile 3-4 times a week, plays 18 holes of golf, rides a bike, goes for very long walks -- and I think it's really because he's done these things his whole life. Sure, part of it is just plain luck. Good genes and all that (though his own dad died at 54). He's always placed a great deal of importance on getting out and doing stuff. I think it's what's made a big difference in his continued good health.
So what about you?
