JOHN CHANEY

I had a conversation with a friend one day; and we were talking about family and life; and I asked him: ā€œhow do you see your kidsā€™ future?ā€

And he said to me: ā€œmy grandfather walked 10 miles to work every day; my father walked 5; Iā€™m driving a Cadillac; my son is in a Mercedes; my grandson will be in a Ferrari. But,ā€ he said, ā€œmy great-grandson will be walking again.ā€ So I asked him: ā€œwhy is that?ā€

And he said to me: ā€œtough times create strong men; strong men create easy times; easy times create weak men; weak men create tough times. Many will not understand, but you have to raise warriors.ā€
