[ MUSIC ] Good day, thank you very much for asking me to remember my Dad because he was the most voluble person in our family. And he was giving advice freely on a daily basis. [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] And Dad was a very handsome 6'3'' blonde, blue eyed pole of American. But he spoke fluent Polish but he said to me, and I was his favorite child of six. And it's terrible to be the favorite child because all my brothers and sisters hate me. But But he always was kind and nice and always he would do anything I would ask. He would take me places, he would escort me, he would influence me in many different ways. But one day he just said, Martha, what do you want to do? And I said, I don't know dad. What should I do, and he said, you can do anything you want, and that kind of positive reinforcement really is extremely important to I think for a young woman to think that your parents and my mom was to say my mom. But mom loved all of us equally, and she told us that every single day there was no difference between me and Eric and George, and Frank and Laura and Kathy. We were all beautiful in her eyes and true we were. So it was the best, best advice I could ever get from anyone that you could do anything you set your mind to. But you had to work hard and there's always all these little things that come along with the You can do anything. Work hard. Be proud. Get a good education. Work for it. And that's what we did, ll of us. And we've all been successful. We've all been pretty happy, but we Constantly remembered his good words. And even if you're a child. It's important, I now am a grandmother. I'm so happy about that. But even if your daughter or your granddaughter Maybe isn't so pretty or isn't so smart. You tell her she is, and you keep reinforcing that and, you know what? She'll grow up to be beautiful and brilliant and do just what she wants to do, so. That's the advice. [ MUSIC ]
