It’s disgusting. – Kristen Stewart • A sweet thing, for whatever time, to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost. – Euripides • After about midday my dad sent cars from his private collection for us. We were told to get in. We had almost lost contact with my father and brothers because things had got out of hand. I saw with my own eyes the [Iraqi] army withdrawing and the terrified faces of the Iraqi soldiers who, unfortunately, were running away and looking around them. Missiles were falling on my left and my right – they were not more than fifty or one hundred metres away. We moved in small cars. I had a gun between my feet just in case. – Raghad Hussein • Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. – Anne Geddes

According to my rich dad, this is the job of a true entrepreneur. – Robert Kiyosaki • But actually my dad is a very talented director and not just his use of shots and camera, but he’s very good with actors and he knows acting well. It’s great to see him do that and be really good at it and he’s been doing it for a while and he certainly knows how to make movies, and little movies I guess for a television show, and he’s going to come back in November to direct a second episode, which I’m really excited about. – Emily Deschanel • But not like this: not with the house just an afterimage, and my mom a spirit, and my dad…recycled.” “Carter Kane, Chapter 41 – Rick Riordan • But there’s no substitute for a full-time dad.

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Dad – a son’s first hero, a daughter’s first love. – John Walter Bratton • Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they’re fun, they do things together, they’re best friends.

Unfortunately, he didn’t teach me everything he knows. – Al Unser • Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world’s problems? – Bill Watterson • Dad’s especially need to remember that what they say to their daughters is written in Sharpie.

• Growing up in New Orleans, my mom and dad were churchgoers. I would go to church with them. Also, I was going to a Catholic school so I had a fascination with the Catholic Church mainly because, in my mind, (their services) didn’t take as long. I was bouncing in between my mom’s Baptist church, which was called Second Zion Baptist, and going to a Catholic Church. – Avery Johnson • Growing up working with my dad, I really had no interest in doing the actual work, so I was always like drawing on the wood, doing stuff like that. It just has a real hands-on approach. – Eddie Martinez • Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. – Clarence Budington Kelland • He’s [Harry S. Truman] just your dad, and you love him. It’s only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home – it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love. My father was a great man. – Margaret Truman Daniel • I actually wanted to be a police officer like my dad for the longest time, up until my sophomore year in high school when I started doing plays. I did plays when I was little, but in high school, I started getting into acting. – Chad Lindberg • I believe strongly that a group’s potential is eventually limited by the strength of its leadership. I’m an outsider, but it still looks to me like the leadership in the Java w orld is Fouled Up Beyond ALL Recognition. Java ISVs don’t know whether to listen to Mom or Dad. Everybody knows IBM should just buy Sun and clean up the mess. When are they going to do it? – Eric Sink • I can see the humor in just about any situation. After I lost my dad, I realized that none of us should take things too seriously, because everything except death works itself out. – Chris Rock • I didn’t realize how good I was with technology until I met my parents… my dad told me “You’re good; you should be a computer programmer.” I said, “You’re bad… you should be a caveman.” – Mike Birbiglia • I don’t think I really knew how fit I was when I was a kid. I rode with my dad quite long distances and I’ve been racing since the age of nine, so we did a lot of sport growing up. My earliest memories of my dad are watching him race, so it was inevitable when we were old enough that my brother and I would get on bikes. – Victoria Pendleton • I grew up as an only child. I think it might just be that my dad really didn’t care that I was a girl. “You’re gonna do certain things ’cause I want you to, and that’s the way it is.” – Mitchell Baker • I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering. – David Harewood • I grew up playing games, and I remember Christmas 1981 when my dad got us an Intellivision, and we all sat around and played ‘Astrosmash’ for hours on end. It was a big part of my youth. – Roger Craig Smith • I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better. – Gia Coppola • I had a tremendous upbringing and foundation but as others like me have experienced, when you go to college, mom and dad are no longer there to help guide. There were some moments in college that really cemented my own convictions and beliefs. It was a real period of growth and maturity in my sanctifying process. I got married in college. That was a tremendous blessing. Four years later, we started having children and that gives you a deeper understanding of the Father’s love. – Aaron Kampman • I had old bunk beds that my dad got from Seabrook Farms. They were first used by German prisoners during World War II, who were sent to work the farms during the war. The metal beds with their thin mattresses could easily be used as a jungle gym and I loved them. – David Mixner • I had to figure out my own faith. That was something I figured out a while ago when I was 18. But I can always stand on the fact that my dad has been a great example for me. Beyond that, building my career hasn’t been attached to my dad. It’s been me figuring things out for myself. – Anthony Evans • I hate short hair on men – the ‘real’ man is something I don’t know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. – Lou Doillon • I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong. – Ann Richards • I hope I pass on my dad’s good humor, work ethic and lack of self-seriousness. Our house was always a fun place where you’d get knocked around quickly if you took yourself too seriously. – Willie Geist • I just love to sing, so like my dad’s advice when I was younger – anytime you get a chance to sing, just go out there and do it! I truly just love the actual singing. – Lauren Hart • I knew that I had to be a preacher. I had to be a minister, which was a puzzle to me because my dad was a businessman. It was a family company and I assumed that I would take it on from him. – N. T. Wright • I love baseball, I really do. I always told my Dad, I’m not gonna make it working… I like to play ball too much. Which I did. I played hard. You gotta work at this game. You really do. And its fun doing it if you do it the right way. – Yogi Berra • I love my dad. He used to be a professional wrestler in Mexico. So it was cool growing up with him, because when he hit us, he didn’t really hit us. – Felipe Esparza • I love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad. – Lady Gaga • I love working with my dad, but I need to be independent and do my own stuff. – Rob Reiner • I loved rock and roll when that came in, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, all those great records. So I begged my mom and dad for a guitar, which eventually they did get me for Christmas, but it went out of tune very quickly, and it hurt my fingers. – Ian McLagan • I never got along with my dad. Kids used to come up to me and say, ‘My dad can beat up your dad.’ I’d say ‘Yeah? When?’ – Bill Hicks • I never really was good at being a family general man, really. I hardly ever spent any time with my mum and dad whatever, really, or brothers or sisters. We just really didn’t get along. I was pretty much like the black sheep of the family, to be honest. – Andrew Chan • I never wanted to be an actor. My dad was an actor, and he never brought joy home, so I didn’t view it as something that I would want to do. – Jennifer Lawrence • I once punched a bloke in the face for saying ‘Hawk the Slayer’ was rubbish, when what I should have said ‘Dad, you’re wrong.’ – Bill Bailey • I sampled a bit of stuff from my dad’s collection. He has probably a bigger record collection than I do. I try to buy as much as possible, because I’ve never been able to keep an MP3 collection organized. I like to keep my computers as clean as possible. – Girl Talk • I spoke to my dad, and he said it took close to 90 dollars to raise me. But that was me and my sister, and my sister moved out when she was 16, so sometimes it can knock you up to triple digits to raise a kid. – Adam Carolla • I struggle every day with trying to be a better dad, a better husband, better musician, better artist. It consumes me, and I don’t see an end in sight. – Harry Connick, Jr. • I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he’s genuinely interested in what she’s going through. – Harry Connick, Jr. • I think he gets a lot of respect just because he’s my dad, too. Even if he hadn’t had any experience. But I think he comes with a lot of experience and all of that as well, so I think people enjoyed working with him and had fun and also respected him, which was nice. – Emily Deschanel • I think I was really bored at school. I was quietly clock watching for years. I went to 10 schools because my dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot. – Ridley Scott • I think it’s becoming rarer and rarer when I consider the experiences that I’ve had in my life between my dad and my brother and all the men in my life who have all been gentlemen and have looked after women. – Alex Pettyfer • I think spending a lot of time with my mom, who’s a talker and a storyteller, and my dad, who has kind of a soft-spoken, understated sense of humor, I think that’s how I became what I am, which is sort of an understated storyteller. – Mike Birbiglia • I think that what’s funny is that I seem to be taking up the roles that I remember my dad having – for some reason, I’m the one who makes the coffee, and my dad was always that guy. It’s kind of shocking how closely I compare to my dad. – James Mercer • I think the best advice I ever got about acting was from my dad, which was, ‘If they don’t buy the fish on the first toss, throw it back in the wagon and go to the second house.’ Which is like an old Jewish fishmongers’ story about how you become a successful fish monger. – Lin Shaye • I think we should have a day off for Father’s Day. Dads work very hard. And to be fair, a day off for Mums too, as they work hard. And more bank holidays. They rock. – Peter Andre • I wanted to be an actor my whole young life. My dad was an actor, obviously – he won an Academy Award, but I had no idea what was involved. I had all the wrong ideas about acting. – Ed Begley, Jr. • I was lucky to have a great dad. – James McNerney • I was raised in farm and ranch communities, and my dad wanted me to be a cowboy like him, but I saw how he struggled in life and wanted more than that. – Tom Johnson • I was very inventive. I lived in my own world – my dad said I was a loner. Not lonely, just happy in my own company. It’s the same now. I need time alone, which is maybe why I love to write. Having said that, I love the sociability of telly. It’s a nice contrast. – Alan Titchmarsh • I wasn’t the athletic kid in my family. Both of my brothers were on athletic scholarships and my dad played semi-pro hockey. My younger brother played pro hockey. I was the music kid. But I always loved sports. I grew up around it. – Trevor McNevan • I would love to play Marlene Dietrich in a movie. My dad’s from Germany and so I feel like that would be a really interesting person to play. – Kirsten Dunst • If a dad does his job, we don’t need prisons, we don’t need jails. That’s what I saw growing up. – Mike Singletary • If there is some sort of trouble at home, kids don’t think that James Bond is going to come save their mum from their dad, or their dad from their mum. They don’t think, “Bond is going to come and save me.” Superman is a different sort of idealized figure. – Henry Cavill • If you love your dad, it’s tough when he dies. If you don’t like your dad, it’s tough when he dies. Because you lose that guy. Whatever you didn’t get, you miss. And what you did get, you miss. – Jimmy Iovine • If you’re a guy over 30 by yourself in the hotel pool, you automatically look like a murderer who’s just relaxing after he strangled a family. “Yeah-that dad was a tough one to kill.” – Jim Gaffigan • I’m a good blend of both my mom and dad. – Danica Patrick • I’m an actor, paid to act. I don’t bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that. – Abhishek Bachchan • I’m glad I was raised by my dad for other reasons, too. There are things you can learn from a father, as a son, that you can never learn from Mom. Special things, important things. Like “never challenge Dad to a fist fight. – Christopher Titus • I’m not a typical Republican. I am a Republican, I wear the Republican jersey, I’ve been a Republican my whole life. My dad was a Republican, which is interesting because he was in a union early on. The Republican party was very strong in the area that I grew up in. So I’m a loyalist. – Anthony Scaramucci • I’m really close to my mom, but things with my dad have been different. He has dementia and watching him change, I’ve actually started to think that it’s a purer state for people. Because he operates as if he’s a child and everything is new, which seems more honest. – Blake Butler • It might be tough, but my dad used to say, tough times don’t last — tough people do. – James Robertson • It was always so important to my dad for us to understand about the Genocide and to know about our family history. – Kim Kardashian • It wasn’t like a “I know I wanted to do this,” I was sort of just – I was five and my dad kinda said hey, you wanna be an actor and I said sure. – Drake Bell • It’s a funny thing. It’s an odd thing to have your dad just come and work with you. But I think they all enjoyed working with him. It was a lot of fun. David loved teasing my dad, but I know respects him very much and when he gave him direction, David was always trying to do what he asked and we had a lot of fun. – Emily Deschanel • It’s because the idea of what’s cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what’s cool is whether or not you’ve been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what’s cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something – out-of-the-norm stuff. – Anthony Mackie • It’s like a relay race of being ignored. It is really challenging, but whenever I get asked that stuff, I feel really self-conscious about it. I feel really lucky because we have a lot of help. When I first began to be a dad with Gwen [Stefani], I was amazed at what she went through. – Gavin Rossdale • It’s not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it’s a convention of drama. If you don’t get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers. – Ian Hart • I’ve always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity. – Doseone • I’ve been so lucky to have my mum and dad because they’ve worked to give my brother and I everything. We’re not spoilt children. – Amy Childs • I’ve been very lucky in my employment over the years. You would think that the worst job I’ve ever had was as janitor, but it really wasn’t, because I was a janitor at my dad’s office building when I was younger. – Chris Carmack • I’ve got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody’s equal. – Nicholas Hoult • I’ve seen women who don’t have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day. – Chris Rock • Kids did really well in their A levels, how do we respond? ‘A Levels are getting easier, in my day you had to do fifty questions in a minute, if you got one wrong, they killed your dad! – Russell Howard • Kids really need love from two parents. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mom and a mom, or a dad and a dad. – Brendon Ayanbadejo • Lemurs are good parents but they do it in different ways. I originally studied father care. I was very interested in that and we saw that a lot of these animals that lived in pairs and the father wasn’t doing anything at all for the first month. But then suddenly, when the baby got to be a certain weight then the dads chipped in and started carrying the babies which was very nice. And then if there was twins or triplets then they helped. – Patricia Wright • Mom and Dad say I should make my life an example of the principles I believe in… But every time I do, they tell me to stop it. – Bill Watterson • Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That’s how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose. – Mitt Romney • My attitude towards money is because of my mum and dad. My parents have always worked full time and I’ve always had that work ethic in me. – Amy Childs • My brother and I grew up in a musical family. We have an older sister who sings and plays the piano. Our dad is a musician. Music was always a part of our lives. – Laura Allen • My brother and I were born in an Irish county called Tipperary. We were both very math- and science-inclined in high school. My dad trained as an electrical engineer, and my mom is in microbiology. – John Collison • My dad always said to go for my hobby and used to commend me for my excellent judgement so i try to do the similar for my children. – Heather McDonald • My dad always said to me that with fame comes great responsibility, which has always stuck with me, even though I think he stole that line from Spiderman. – Missy Higgins • My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations. – James Mercer • My dad and mom were more like World War II-era parents, even though it was the 1960s, because they were both born in the ’40s. They were young adults before the ’60s even happened, and married, and already having kids. But by the time we were adolescents in the ’70s, the whole culture was screaming at parents, “You’re a good parent if you’re open with your kids about sex.” They attempted to be open with us about sex, and it made them want to die, and consequently, it made us want to die. • My dad didn’t often bring me to the set, being an actor himself, so my infancy as an actor was wracked with a lot of giggles and nervousness. – Josh Brolin • My dad died, and my grandfather died, and my great-grandfather died. And the guy before him, I don’t know. Probably died. – Norm MacDonald • My dad got me a chemistry book one Christmas and I burnt the garden shed down. I remember there was the most beautiful smell forever after in the remains. – Beth Orton • My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad. – Derek Jeter • My dad has always been such a great dad, and he’s brought so much culture to my life. He dragged me to see every single movie at the cinématheque as a kid. I saw everything from Star Wars to Bergman. – Julie Delpy • My dad has always just had a lot of faith in me as an artist and as a person, and he doesn’t really dispense with a lot of advice when it comes to the music. He’s taught me a lot over the years, but when I was taking on this project he’s really hands-off about that. He just appreciates what I’ve done and is very supportive, and of course really proud. – Molly Ringwald • My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. – Tiger Woods • My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I’ve had a passion for it. – Sidney Crosby • My dad is a carpenter, a joiner, and I used to watch him make things. So I always imagined that I’d do something where I made things, too. I was really more interested in architecture growing up because I would work with my dad on houses. – Christopher Bailey • My dad is actually a manic depressive, which is very exciting half the time. – Marc Maron • My dad is an ambassador. My brother is a diplomat. I doubt that I could be doing anything else other than being a diplomat if I weren’t in showbiz. It’s in the genes! – Woody Milintachinda • My dad is my everything. He always had the craziest speeches for Kylie [Jenner] and me growing up, good words to live by. – Kendall Jenner • My dad is one of the funniest people I know. He’s the sort of man who can make you laugh just by reading out of a telephone directory… He’s a spastic. – Frankie Boyle • My dad is really just lazy. He has nothing, I feel, to offer this world. – Sasha Grey • My dad kept me away from people who treat children wrong. It’s just amazing that there is such a way to raise a person without giving them complexes. But nobody does it. They think it should be the old school. But look at the products. Wouldn’t it be great if you could avoid the complexes? Then you could deal with the complexes of life. – Juliette Lewis • My dad knew that if I wanted to make a career out of it, I needed to go to NASCAR rather than dirt racing.

I’ve always thought that pretty much summed me up. Born confident. – Rankin • My dad told me, ‘Your movie’s never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut. – Sofia Coppola • My dad used to call me “yeah but” because no matter what the answer was I always wanted to explore why things were what they were and how they might be different. – Arlene Dickinson • My dad was a bass player in a Latino band when I was growing up. So we always had musical instruments in our basement. – Lindi Ortega • My dad was a complicated man. He was a huge racist, my dad, but he still tried to be a good father, you know? Like, he would tell me that Santa Claus was black – that way, when I found out he didn’t exist, it wouldn’t be that big a let down. – Anthony Jeselnik • My dad was a cross-country truck driver. – John Searles • My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous. – Scott McCloud • My dad was so influential in my career. It was a fulfillment of every athlete’s dream. I dreamed about it as a kid. We played hockey in the backyard. We had silver buckets we carried around like the Stanley Cup. It was everything that you would hope. – Matt Cullen • My dad would often take me to the cinema and I found myself really seduced by the imagery, I think this had a massive impact on how I viewed the world. – Rankin • My dad, a mathematician, raised me to believe that mathematics is beautiful, so math is a part of my imaginative terrain. In my late 20s I wrote several 11-line poems because I wanted to create poems that couldn’t be uniformly divided into couplets, tercets, or quatrains, 11 being a prime number. – James Arthur • My dad’s a musician, and he taught me how to play when I was three, I think, so I’ve been playing ever since. It’s something I’ve always done. And when you’re really young, and you play music for people, people get really excited, so you get this inner sense that you are good at it, even though I’ve always been really not good at it. – Bob Schneider • My dad’s been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors. – Girl Talk • My dad’s dying wish was to have his family around him. I can’t help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen. – Jimmy Carr • My dads great. Hes an amazing artist. A sculptor. Hes wonderful and supportive. I love going to museums with him – we talk about… everything. – Grace Gummer • My earliest influences would definitely be my father, just seeing him play in different bands and going to his shows and going to the rehearsals. You know what I’m saying, it was the typical story of a son looking up to his dad. So the years that my father was around, my father was my biggest influence. – Jon Connor • My father played in high school. My uncles played. From age five or six, I remember watching all the games. And I remember saying to my mom and dad even then that I was going to play in the NFL, and buy them a house and a car. – Thomas Jones • My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass’; ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’ – Harmon Killebrew • My father was a management genius. But what I really wanted was a dad. – Michael Jackson • My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad. – Beau Bridges • My favorite thing about coaching? Teaching. Being around young people, just watching a player grow and develop. You know, a young man comes in with dreams and goals and ambitions and just helping him reach (them). It’s like your dad watching you grow up and like me watching my boys grow. – Tubby Smith • My grandfather and my dad’s brothers and my dad all worked in construction. It’s the whole cultural thing, you know, your parents want you to go to the next level of whatever, and I decided that I ought to be an architect. I can’t tell you why. And I tried, and I had no aptitude for it. – Bruce Molsky • My mom and my dad taught me the greatest gifts we have are our family, our health and the right to clean water and good land. – Erin Brockovich • My mother played the piano and my father the violin, I can remember my dad teaching me how to waltz; I had my feet on his, my mother playing the piano, and my husband will tell you the lessons weren’t very successful. – Quentin Bryce • My mum told me the best time to ask my dad for anything was during sex. Not the best advice I’d ever been given. I burst in through the bedroom door saying “Can I have a new bike?”. He was very upset. His secretary was surprisingly nice about it. I got the bike. – Jimmy Carr • My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you’ve ever met. They’re very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way. – SZA • Nikah is a contract that transfers responsibilities. Therefore know the man you’re thinking of marrying, and be sure that he is able to take care of you, more than your dad did. Islam empowers women with honor and dignity. Don’t settle for anything less. – Nouman Ali Khan • Nobody had books at home. My dad was a very educated person, so he would have books at home. All Spanish books. That helped. Most of my homies had no books at home. – Luis J. Rodriguez • Nolan Ryan helped me with baseball, and my dad passing away gave me a bigger heart. – Randy Johnson • Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today. – Bono • People see Archie Bunker everywhere. Particularly girls; poor girls, rich girls, all kinds of girls are always coming up to me and telling me that Archie is just like their dad. – Carroll O’Connor • She got really mad a month ago, because she had e-mailed me a naked picture of herself – which is a nice thing to do – but then I messed up, and I accidentally forwarded that e-mail to both of my parents. Now, my girlfriend is furious, mortified, but I don’t even care, ’cause now I have to call up my mother and say ‘Mom, I am so sorry – that picture was just for dad.’ – Anthony Jeselnik • That really is the best part of being a dad. You remember what’s important in life. – Russell Simmons • The black and white lemur, the one that relaxes on that branch, they actually have day care, like kindergartens; where all the mothers come together and they put all the babies into this one nest and they let dad watch it while they go out and have food and have a good time and then they come back in a few hours. We’ve never seen that in other primates. – Patricia Wright • The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, ‘Daddy, I need to ask you something,’ he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan. – Garrison Keillor • The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad! – John Walter Bratton • Three of Donald Trump’s kids have come forward to defend him, and called him ‘an incredible dad and role model.’ Donald was so moved that he wrote one of them back into his will. ‘I’m not gonna tell you which one . . . it’s Donald Jr.’ – Jimmy Fallon • To be a dad: Make peace with the fact that you will now be your partner’s second favourite person in the world. – Chris Ramsey • We inherit a lot from our parents: mom’s eyes, dad’s chin, and the attitude of whichever parent isn’t punishing you at the moment. All of those things we have our mom’s to thank for.”If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” – Milton Berle • Well, Thanksgiving we’ll all gather at my house for dinner and we usually do Christmas at Beau’s house. My mom is still feisty and kicking. She’s 92. I saw her last night and she published a book at 90. It’s a wonderful book called “You Caught Me Kissing” and it’s basically love-poems that she wrote for my dad. It’s more than that, it’s a wonderful book. – Jeff Bridges • We’re living in a time period where if a kid is on a plastic scooter that’s one inch off the ground, mom and dad think he should have a helmet on. I don’t think they should have a helmet on. They should break their leg and have an imagination. Otherwise, we’re going to have a nation of accountants. – Ramin Bahrani • When I look in the mirror, I don’t see my Dad, I see my grandmother. For a while it was my mother looking back at me. If only it was my Dad. – Colin Firth • When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, “Do you believe in Adam and Eve?” And he said he didn’t think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary. – Alanis Morissette • When I was a kid my dad would say, “Emo, do you believe in the Lord?” I’d say, “Yes!” He’d say, “Then stand up and shout Hallelujah!” So I would … and I’d fall out of the roller coaster. – Emo Philips • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues. I really thought I was supposed to be a boy. I used to sneak into my dad’s room and put on a suit, drink a cocktail, and pretend to smoke a cigarette. – Jane Lynch • When I’m sittin’ down to dinner with the family, stuff [another Yogiism] just pops out. And they’ll say, ‘Dad, you just said another one.’ And I don’t even know what the heck I said. – Yogi Berra • When I’m smiling and having fun, that’s when you should have a problem. If I’m out there frowning and looking mean, that’s when you know you’ve beat me – because I’m not having fun. I’ve been playing basketball since I was three. Everybody since I was three tried to tell me to stop smiling. Even my dad. My dad apologized to me when I was ten. – Dwight Howard • When my dad was in Vietnam, we lost a parent for a year. Thank God we didn’t lose a parent for good. – Fred Wilson • When you watch your mum and dad sing and they’re happy and it brings them joy, it is then a natural choice to go where the joy is. Music was always that place in our family. – Julia Stone • Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn’t really want it then. – Johann Heinrich Lambert • You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk R-rated. I mean I’ve got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. When a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they’re not talking the way people talk on TV. Unless it’s cable. – Bob Saget • You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me. – Gabby Douglas

Nike Likes Manufacturing Outside China and You Should Too

youtube

Nike has always been in the forefront of international manufacturing. So much so that I can remember a time (before China became THE factory to the world ) when many companies would base their decision on where to do their manufacturing on where Nike did its manufacturing. Nike started its international manufacturing (pretty much from day one) in Japan, but by the 1980s, it had moved almost all of its manufacturing to South Korea and Taiwan. Nike opened its first factory in Mainland China in 1981.

Back in the mid-1990s, Jardine Fleming Securities (now part of JP Morgan Chase) came up with the Swoosh Index, which was its theory that once Nike selects a country for its newest factory site, economic growth, rising stock markets, and other foreign companies follow. A Business Week article, entitled, “The Swoosh Index for Emerging Markets” explained it:

Nike first started using Japanese plants in 1964. When labor costs there climbed in the mid-1970s, it gave South Korea and Taiwan a run. In the 1990s, production jumped to Indonesia and China, which now account for two-thirds of Nike output. Nike pulled back from Thailand recently ahead of a collapse in stock and property prices. Next up: Vietnam. While production there is now only 2% of Nike output, that’s expected to double within a year.

When choosing factory sites, Nike looks for cheap labor. However, it also picks countries with stable–usually authoritarian–leadership, decent infrastructure, a pro-business government, and a liberal trade regime.

When it decides to leave, that doesn’t signal the end of prosperity. It often means that countries are ready to move on to high-end manufacturing. And democracy.

Many companies watch Nike and then follow Nike into whichever country Nike locates. I bring all this up because hardly a day goes by without my discussing with someone “where to manufacture” something. It feels like the old days when manufacturing in China was not a given and companies needed to make international manufacturing decisions without Nike-sized budgets. With China no longer the automatic choice for manufacturing, things have gotten more complicated and more interesting. I like it. It feels like a return to the past, back to when I would call myself an international lawyer, not a China lawyer.

Yesterday, I met with a couple people who operate a high tech product inspection and sourcing company and we — as so often happens these days — quickly found ourselves talking about what we are saying by way of companies moving their manufacturing out of China. I talked about a company that was looking at Poland for manufacturing its baby strollers. They mentioned having looked into Poland for making shoes. I then talked about knowing someone who had its shoes made in Portugal, but then had some of them made at a Portuguese-owned factory in Angola. We talked about being surprised at how many companies still make clothes and shoes in China that probably should have moved that manufacturing out years ago. We discussed how Vietnam is bursting at the seam these days. I should have quoted Yogi Berra (but I didn’t) on how Vietnam has become so crowded for manufacturing that nobody goes there anymore. They talked about how India is a great place for jewelry. I talked about how we had clients that loved Pakistan for making baseball hats.

We then talked about how China made manufacturing easy for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and no country even comes close to China on that count. We agreed that China had great “soft infrastructure” for manufacturing and every other country was pretty terrible at this and how this was a major factor in how slowly companies are moving their manufacturing out of China. I gave example after example of companies that had come to one of the international manufacturing lawyers at my firm for legal help with their China manufacturing only to end up manufacturing in another country at lower cost and no tariffs. These country changes happened at our urgings and these discussions nearly always go like this:

Lawyer: Why China for X product? Did you consider Thailand (or whatever other country seemed to make better sense)?

Client: I actually wanted to have my X product made in Thailand but I could never figure out how to accomplish that.

Lawyer: We have people who can help you with that.

We then talked about the pros and cons of manufacturing in various countries and the countries we like for manufacturing and the “sleeper countries” — those countries we believe more companies should be considering for their manufacturing. I threw out Spain, Portugal, Poland, Thailand, the Philippines, Mexico, and Guatamala.

But what about Nike? What countries does Nike like? The answer to this question is easy because Nike has a website that tells us exactly where it manufactures its products. Nike has its products made in 41 countries, using 525 factories and a little over one million workers:

Argentina — 13 factories (6 apparel, 3 equipment, 4 footwear)

Bangladesh — 1 factory (apparel)

Bosnia — 1 factory (footwear)

Brazil — 24 factories (9 apparel, 15 footwear)

Bulgaria — 1 factory (equipment)

Cambodia — 10 factories (apparel)

Canada — 3 factories (apparel)

China — 109 factories (46 apparel, 33 equipment, 30 footwear)

Croatia — 1 factory (equipment)

Ecuador — 1 factory (apparel)

Egypt — 5 factories (apparel)

El Salvador — 3 factories (apparel)

Georgia — 2 factories (apparel)

Germany — 1 factory (apparel)

Greece — 1 factory (apparel)

Guatamala — 4 factories (apparel)

Hondorus — 5 factories (apparel)

India — 8 factories (2 apparel, 1 equipment, 5 footwear)

Indonesia 38 factories (15 apparel, 5 equipment, 18 footwear)

Israel — 1 factory (equipment)

Italy — 18 factories (10 apparel, 2 equipment, 5 footwear)

Japan — 12 factories (3 apparel, 8 equipment, 1 footwear)

Jordan — 3 factories (apparel)

Malaysia — 7 factories (apparel)

Mexico — 16 factories (14 apparel, 2 footwear)

Moldova — 4 factories (apparel)

Netherlands — 2 factories (apparel)

Nicaragua — 2 factories (apparel)

Pakistan — 6 factories (4 apparel, 2 equipment)

Poland — 1 factory (apparel)

Romania — 1 factory (apparel)

South Africa — 1 factory (apparel)

South Korea — 8 factories (1 equipment, 7 footwear)

Spain — 2 factories (apparel)

Sri Lanka — 17 factories (15 apparel, 1 equipment, 1 footwear)

Taiwan — 13 factories (5 apparel, 5 equipment, 3 footwear)

Thailand — 29 factories (24 apparel, 5 equipment)

Turkey — 4 factories (3 apparel, 1 equipment)

United Kingdom — 1 factory (apparel)

United States — 42 factories (37 apparel, 5 equipment)

Vietnam — 105 factories (68 apparel, 11 equipment, 26 footwear and 463,531 workers)

What can be learned from all of this Nike info? That depends. Nike actually lists out the specific companies it uses in each country and there can be little doubt that Nike has thoroughly vetted each of these companies and their facilities. Do these companies engage in contract manufacturing for companies othe than Nike? I would think most do. So this listing ought to be very helpful for anyone in the apparel, sports equipment or footwear industries. Does that mean you should have your t-shirts made in Germany? I highly doubt that. It’s possible Nike has very limited amounts of specialized apparel made in Germany for Germany because doing so is cheaper or easier or better than importing Bayern Munich apparel from Vietnam.

What about this list surprises you? I’m surprised to see an expensive country like Germany on here and not the Philippines.

But what if you make toaster ovens? What can you learn from above? You can learn that there are plenty of countries other than China that manufacture quality items at a price that makes sense for a highly sophisticated international company like Nike and that alone ought to open your eyes to the manufacturing world outside China.

But, what is good for Nike may not be good for you and, quite frankly, there are countries listed above that I would immediately write off as too dangerous, too corrupt, too risky, too lawless, or just too difficult for the average company.

Where are you looking for your manufacturing these days? What countries do you see as manufacturing sleepers and why?

This Week in Ontario Edublogs

It’s always an honour to write this regular Friday post. There are always so many wonderful things coming from the blogs of Ontario Edubloggers. This week is no different.

Aren’t I In Teaching To Teach?

After reading this title from Aviva Dunsiger, I thought that perhaps she was going to head off in the direction of the Health and Physical Education controversy in Ontario. After all, it’s big in the news these days and the title itself is one that I think every educator uses regularly when pushed about their own educational philosophy.

But, that wasn’t the direction of this post. Aviva turns instead to thinking about self-regulation and, in typical Aviva style, has many questions.

If you have answers, I’m sure that Aviva would appreciate comments to her post.

Of note, embedded in this post is a link to educator being a “Stress Detective“. It’s well worth the time to investigate.

The conclusion is worth a ponder if you’ve ever found yourself saying the words in her title. Are you true to them? How does your own personal accountability to the school and next year’s teacher affect this?

Blue Gold

As I read this post, I’m reminded of quote attributed to Yogi Berra.

You can observe a lot by just watching

In this post, Peter Cameron weaves a wonderful story that happened while on a bike ride.

As we were riding, we passed a woman dressed in traditional Anishinaabe clothing, carrying a staff in one hand and a copper bucket in the other.

The post includes a hand-drawn representation.

Read on and you’ll find references to Professionally Speaking, Nibi, Lake Superior and some of its feeder rivers, Google Earth, The Water Walker, Make a Difference, Junior Water Walkers, Great Lakes, and more. You have to read the post in its entirety to see the thread that brings all this together.

It’s such an inspirational post and I suspect we’re going to hear more about this in future posts.

In the meantime, you might just be wondering what you’ve personally missed by not seeking out answers to things you’ve seen.

Friday Two Cents: Reflections On My Old School And Being Bullied

I always thought that it would have been kind of a life mission to get a job teaching in the school that I learned in. Sure, I had issues growing up.

But, none compared to what Paul Gauchi describes in this post.

It’s a sad story reflecting back on some of the bullying activities that happened to him personally and the reactions from those around him as a result. I think we could all see ourselves fitting into his shoes.

But then, Paul ends up with an Occasional Teacher job back at the school where it all happens. That’s what brings the conversation full circle.

This is a post that you won’t quickly abandon.

What do daughters do without fathers

From Heather Swail comes a post about a life and its challenges with and without a father.

There are highs and lows and questions left unanswered.

Heather was a guest on voicEd Radio’s This Week in Ontario Edublogs this past week and goes into more intimate and personal details in the show (which you can download and listen to on demand).

One of the notes that I made to myself as I read this post was the message of strength that Heather describes in family member which I’m sure you’ll agree serves as character building for a lifetime.

The Opposition grows in Ontario to Health Curriculum Changes – Minus a Catholic Voice

Like many educators in the province, Paul McGuire is following the developments in the future of the Health and Physical Education Curriculum. On the Ministry of Education’s website at the time of this writing, the 2015 Revised curriculum remains as a link. There is a separate link to “Sex education in Ontario“.

I think I know Paul well enough to know that he’s interested in the big picture, K-12, but as a former principal of a K-6 schools, there has to be a special interest or concern as these are the grades the curriculum generates the most controversy.

I find it interesting just from a literacy perspective as the Minister refers to using the 2014 curriculum whereas others refer to the 1998 curriculum.

Paul uses, as a source document, a Google Doc from Andrew Campbell which is tracking responses by school organizations. I found it an interesting exercise to read the varying levels of position from the various districts. Paul is quick to note that there is no official stand from any Catholic District School Board. He does include a comment from the chair of Huron-Superior Catholic School Board.

We’re now into August with no resolution in sight. Indeed, there seems to be no consensus among District School Boards. Paul wants to know where there are no official comments from a Catholic School Board.

The Privilege to Look Away- and the courage to speak up

We live in interesting times. With cell phones and security cameras everywhere, it’s a common occurrence to turn on the news and see incidents that will leave you shaking your head.

But what happens when it happens in the first person?

That’s the story that Debbie Donsky shares in this post. She was witness to an incident between a “young racialized” student and a bus driver which she considered inappropriate … and did nothing.

Until later … when she wrote to the TTC and described the situation there.

Such was the launch to a number of musings from her in this post and her personal resolutions…

So here it is…my formal commitment to no longer stand on the sidewalk and speak from the sidelines.

I have upped my game on Twitter. Speaking up more. Taking more risks.

I have committed to more projects tied to equity work including editing a book on Women in Educational Leadership

I have been participating in a Book Club on VoicEd Radio where the book I defended, Seven Fallen Feathers — Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City, by Tanya Talaga, was successful in the Battle of the Books.

My journey to Google Certification

For some people, being certified by a particular company is a big deal. Many post their badges of honour on their resumes, social media, and anywhere someone is likely to see it.

In this post, Jennifer Casa-Todd shares her path towards Google Certification. tldr; her badge is at the bottom of the post and expires in 2021. So, congratulations to her for sticking with it.

Her thoughts?

Google Innovator? Trainer? Maybe. Maybe not. In the end it’s not the status but the learning that I value most, and the knowledge that when I set out to do something, I can!

As a holder of vendor certifications, I can agree with the learning part. Absolutely.

Indeed, making the commitment is a personal decision. My thoughts about certification soured during one session though when something wrong happened and we were told by our instructor that this happens sometimes and, if you’re training others, the official language is “that’s unexpected behaviour”. I just didn’t want to be an apologist for something that wasn’t perfect.

My current thinking is that there is so much to learn, I really don’t want to learn enough at one point in time to pass a test. I prefer to lean towards “just in time learning” and learn something that I need when I need it.

If learning is important to you and you’d like to make Ontario connections, Jennifer does make reference to the Ontario Google Educators Group. Connect via:
