Time Will Tell
When I was a young man a lot of the time my dad would answer my questions with the fraise time will tell. Dad can I use the car tonight? "Time will tell." I don't want to keep you in the dark so I'm going to tell you what time will tell really meant. Time will tell meant if you do everything that I have instructed you to do it's a good chance you will get what you want.
My dad had a way of promoting my success. He would give instructions 1,2,3 explain what the outcome should look like and then let me go at it. Looking back it is so funny that my dad taught me about success with just instructions and three words.
Time will tell is a simple formula that I use to this day. If I follow the instructions, be fateful to the process my success will look like the quality of work that I put into it. We have to work to achieve what our idea of success looks like.
The next time you ask yourself can I achieve my goals here at WV my dad would tell you, "Time will tell."

Geoff-n-Jane, growing up it was more frustration than anything. As a kid you already think you know everything' it's not until your grown your realize you don't know anything and your parents were right about everything.
Exactly right.
None of our children and grandkids won't listen and wouldn't understand anyway, until they have their own children.
Dale, you are 100% right. When I was about 20 or 23 years old and had graduated college and served in the Marine Corps, I told my dad one time: "you don't have to experience something in order to know about it!". Now, many years later, I know how wrong I was.
