Living Like The Future Matters: The Evolution of a Soil to Soul Entrepreneur Quotes

“When his patients could not afford to pay (for dental services), Dad never denied them. He would discount the cost or set up a payment plan. New York had a lot of talented, starving artists. Most of the artwork in our home Dad traded for crowns and bridges. The barter system worked, just as it had before the money system took over. Now, several of the lovely paintings grace our home in Hawaii. These works of art remind me of my dad’s generosity and his admiration for other people’s gifts. I have passed these lessons of compassion on to my son and eventually will pass on the paintings.”

“She (My Mom) taught me that health was my greatest wealth. We spent memorable times laughing — the best medicine. Her actions instilled in me how to be a loving and attentive parent. My mom’s genuine gifts have amplified throughout my life. What more could one ask from a mother?”

“Because of my youthful innocence, I saw the beauty parlor as a great place. I now see it as a business that was killing natural beauty. The friendly characters running the shop never intended it to be that way, but they too became caught up in the latest products. They were, no doubt, nice folks but misled as we all were into believing the products were harmless.”

“Many of the new inventions and technology diluted the value of Nature and our human nature. Capital gains became more important than the proposed definition of the American Dream. I believe that if my parents’ generation had known of the consequences, they would have made some different choices.”

“After years of commuting, my entrepreneurial father had the foresight to remodel our overbuilt three-story house and convert part of the basement into his dental practice. To work from one’s home was a new concept. Giving up his NY office made financial sense. He saved money on gasoline and gained more free time without his former need to commute.”

“Even though we lived in the Garden State, it was more important to display a beautiful lawn to our neighbors than to boast a bounty of healthy vegetables. I never saw one vegetable garden in my neighborhood nor in any of my friends’, until I planted one.”

“Some of the most popular tantalizing and chemically processed foods of my youth were Swanson TV dinners, Cheez Whiz, Tang, Hunt’s canned Franks and Beans, Oreo cookies, Devil Dogs, Twinkies, Lucky Charms, and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes whose motto, “They’re GRRREAT!” still rings in my ears! Then there was Diet Rite, the first diet soft drink. I’m disgusted to admit that I had my share of it all. It was preferable to have a perfect-looking tomato rather than a vine-ripe delicious one. Addiction to unhealthy foodstuffs turned into the norm.”
