My Pops taught me to be myself. Everybody puts their pants on the same way -- even if you have a butler to help you do it.
He also taught me to not be afraid to experiment from time to time, and that is how I wound up in IT, lol. Always something to learn and tinker with.
I learned from both of my folks the importance of family -- blood or not... and that has probably been the biggest career influence for me. I like being close to home, and I like being in a job where my bosses know (and understand) that family comes first.
