don’t ever have it
as bad as you think – someone’s …
always got it worse
“We didn’t have a lot of money growing up,” the coach recalls. “When you’re young, you just know if you can have something or you can’t. Most of the time, you can’t.
“But then you see we’re giving so-and-so our old coats, or we’re giving them food, or this car has been in the family for years and we’re going to give it to another family because they had a house fire.
“As a kid, it doesn’t make sense, because these are people you don’t even know. But it taught me that you don’t ever have it as bad as you think you have it. Someone’s always got it worse. My mother taught me that. My mother and father both. Be thankful for what you got. And treat everyone equally.”
Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell as quoted in “Mitch Albom: Dan Campbell’s roots helped make him Detroit Lions savior.“
… you don’t ever have it as bad as you think you have it.
Someone’s always got it worse.
My mother taught me that.
My mother and father both.
Be thankful for what you got.
And treat everyone equally.
I read this and I ask myself why not?
Yet I know there are a lot of folks, many who just got themselves elected to high office, who will read this and ask, “Why?”
