Barbara Delinsky Quote

Who says you have to be the best anyway? My dad. Michael gave him a curious look. Is it because you’ve done time that you think you’re not as good as anybody else? Oh, I think I’m as good. Other people are the problem. Because you’re an ex-con? And a carpenter. Not as much status in that as in what your dad does. But if you do it well, that’s all that counts. That’s what Mom always says. She says I can be whatever I want in life, as long as I do it with passion. Do you do your work with passion?
