Labor gives birth to ideas.
Jim Rohn
I come from a heritage of Italian laborers
My great-grandparents and their parents before grew lemons on an Island in Italy
When my family came to this country
My grandfather worked in a toy factory in Brooklyn
My grandmother rolled cigars
My aunts were seamstresses
Italians endured violence, discrimination, and stereotypes
But we stayed
And we worked
And here I am
and that's poetiquejustis
Do you see a man skillful in his work?
He will stand before kings;
he will not stand before obscure men.
He will stand before kings;
he will not stand before obscure men.
Proverbs 22:29
