President George H Bush

There are several people that I admire and look up and President George H Bush is one of those men. And after reading this article and watching the video, I think that it only solidifies that feeling even more.  And I thought that this answer in particular spoke to me:

I have learned from him the importance of service. My grandfather says he learned his passion for helping others from his mom. He wrote about this in a letter in 1997: “Early on, my mom gave us profound advice. It sounds simple now but when I became president I knew just how sound it was. Be honest. Tell the truth. Be kind. Care about the other guy — help him. Don’t look down on anyone. You have an obligation to help others.”

I liked this quote because, it is a simple and true value of life. Be kind to others and help them when they needed it. This sounds just like the advice that my Grandfather gave me recently. It is a simple truth.

But then again, President George H Bush and my Grandfather lived through a different time and generation. They lived through and served during World War II. They lived and witness Vietnam. They lived through really hard economic times. And they both have said the same things, Be Honest, Tell the Truth, Help others and don’t judge. Words to live by.
