Now when I say discipline, I don’t mean beating your children half to death, which is abuse. I mean discipline in the form of adult leadership, adult guidance, adult supervision, and adult behavior. Yes, my parents and grandparents practiced what they preached. So I was raised in the pressure pot of responsibility. It was hard sometimes. Iron sharpens iron. My parents were iron, and they sharpened us, the tools in their "shed of life." As their parents did before them and theirs before them, and so on and so on.
