Money can be one of them. But honor and self-esteem come from hard work, and your life's work can make you proud and happy too. The hard-back book features an illustrated cover depicting McCarty as a young child helping her grandmother, Julia, wash clothes by hand in the backyard of their Hattiesburg home, using tubs of water and a scub board. McCarty also is featured in The Power of Character, a 1998 book published by the Joseph and Edna Josephson Institute of Ethics. For me, living a good life is living a clean, clean, pure life.
Work is a blessing.
You've got to plan for the future. You can't rely on other people or the government too much. You have to take responsiblity for yourself. If you want to feel proud, you've got to do things you can be proud of.
