My dad never had or wanted a traditional career, and his attitude toward work is refreshing in that he unabashedly hates it. None of his self-worth comes from what he accomplishes from a career standpoint. He thinks being a good person and helping others (something he’s done throughout his life to a heroic degree) is a better way to get that, and I wish I’d inherited more of this to go along with the uncontrollable eyebrow furrows.
