earning your money and I learned a story
back when I was in Iran 19 years old I
think many times we forget to teach that
lesson to our kids and the best thing I

independent and stand on his own by
earning his only coming if he does that
exchange in his time for the money he
makes he’ll be free forever to come it’s
