My father may not have taught me, but was an extraordinary example of:
humility
generosity
integrity
the importance of thinking before speaking
putting stuff back where you found it
taking care of your stuff
your handshake or promise being as binding as a legal contract
making wise investments 
following a dream
     among other things. My dad was a pretty awesome guy.  Would be 100 this month.

"Life is for the strong!"  Stand up for what is right.  Do your job like it is the most important job in the world.  Respect others.  Love your country.  Love and look out for your family.  Reseach something to the bare bone to find truth.  My dad died last March 2013 from a blood clot in his right leg at 87 years old.  He was the greatest man i ever saw or heard talk. Great orator. 

This would be a good question for around Fathers' Day, in June. I've asked this question before, too.Some of the answers said their father taught them what NOT to do by example.

in the few short years i knew him,,i was going to say what i felt about him,,but i guess i did not know him long enough to say any positive things,,so i will just say ,,like everyone else ,,,,,,i had a father........................
