A report by Reuters talks about what a number of celebrities in the entertainment and sports worlds say about the influence their fathers had on their lives. Here's a few of the comments about the advice their dads gave them:
Enrique Iglesias - Award-winning singer and son of famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias
"His favorite word was always discipline. He would always say that if you don't have discipline you won't get anywhere and I think he is 100 percent right. To be successful there are sacrifices that you have to pay. It does not come easy."
Justin Hayward - Lead guitarist/singer of The Moody Blues
"My father taught me that "the most powerful thing you can be is an example to other people. He was to me."
DR. Joyce Brothers - Syndicated advice columnist
"My Dad, Morris, would ask my sister and me over dinner every night about the events of the day and we would discuss current affairs, like FDR's changes in the Supreme Court. So, we learned that it is important to know what people are thinking and to care about what happens in the world."
Chris Pronger - Professional ice hockey player for the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks
"Always work hard. Don't eat yellow snow."
Elliot Sadler - Race car driver in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series.
"Take pride in yourself and always treat people the way you would expect to be treated."
Have a great weekend with your dads.








Hi
I don't agree when kids are forced to follow in their parents footstep.
Kids are real people too and they themselves have to be independent, responsible and make their own decisions in life.
Thank you
