He would repeat it very often, just rattle it off. I don't know if he said it often enough to his own daughters for them to have it stuck like he does. My childhood saying (from my dad).. "If a job is once begun never leave it till it's done; be the labor great or small do it well or not at all." To which I always added for my girls and 4-Hers: "Whether you do all or part, do it with a happy heart." My mom's saying you ask? "Do it to the bitter end" or "Finish it to the bitter end" or "work to the bitter end, Lanny" the only constant in her sayings was "the bitter end" part, not exactly inspirational words. But for an undiagnosed ADDer like me, it was definitely accurate, that was what the end felt like, just prior to coming to it of course, bitter. But it never felt like that seconds after the job was finally done, even if it was picking up after the dogs in the yard! Suffice it to say, I prefered Dirt's saying and my dad's saying. It's awesome to see the saying is still used with the youth sports teams, Bet says Parelli (horse training trainer) uses it a lot. But other than that I've only heard Dirt use it, so I'm thrilled to see it on Savannah's shirt!Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-28219786481052457202012-03-05T14:48:08.691-06:002012-03-05T14:48:08.691-06:00Love the shirt ,hope she keeps it and looks at it ...Love the shirt ,hope she keeps it and looks at it when she needs inspiration.<br />Blessingscarolina nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300773317928721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-77912459546324888222012-03-05T13:15:22.222-06:002012-03-05T13:15:22.222-06:00Love the shirt!
