Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose

by Joe Biden

Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.

Never tell a man what his interests are. Be straight and open with him about your own interests. And try to put yourself in his shoes. Try to understand his hopes and his limitations, and never insist that he do something you know he cannot. It’s really just about making the effort to make a personal connection.
