“My Father taught me to weigh my words carefully, and speak up only when I had something insightful to add to the proceedings, or something really funny to say. He also taught me that if I couldn’t be that kind of guy in real life, that I could earn a healthy living pretending to be that guy in the movies – particularly when paired up with a long haired stoner.” IfsKindLongRealGuyFatherSpeakTaughtHealthyAddReal LifeInsightfulPretendingHealthy LivingThat GuyProceedingLong HairStoners Author:Kevin Smith

“As a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition.

“From a very young age, my father put a lot of fear in me and it worked. I think it's important for children to have fear. I never was curious about drugs or alcohol. I was born in 1960 and back then the older kids were smoking pot. I wasn't interested in that ever and I always had this thing in me, for some reason, that if God was kind enough to give me a healthy body and mind, I was not going to screw it up.” ThinkingGivingMindKindChildrenImportantReasonEnoughKidsAgeFatherHealthyDrugAlcoholCuriousSmokingPot1960sMind And BodyHealthy Body Author:Scott Baio
“I got into boxing for two reasons. One was that my father was a boxer. Secondly when I was young, all healthy men in the UK had to do two years "National Service" in one of the armed forces. I chose the Royal Air Force over the Army and Navy. My father's reputation went before me and therefore the RAF encouraged me to box. There is much rivalry in sporting competitions between the Army, Navy and RAF. Competing has great privileges. I didn't need too much encouragement with all these perks being offered, so I started training with a vengeance.” MenReasonFatherHealthyTrainingEncouragementArmyCompetitionReputationBoxingCompetingVengeanceNavyRivalryAir ForceArmed Forces Author:Brian London
“If you're normal, if you're healthy, you look at your children and you see your image, and you want the best for them. And you applaud when they take their first steps.
