My dad’s quote above, needs no interpretation, but my mother’s use of the phrase, “A trick untried is hard to justify” would often come after hearing me or one of my siblings speculate about what our lives would be like if we didn’t live in Hunnewell or if we had lots of money. My interpretation of her phrase is that there is no profit in second guessing what your life choices would be if you were born into a different set of circumstances because you can never be sure of what the outcome might be. I am humbled, amazed and thankful that my story justifies pursuit of the American dream.показать меньше
