The Value of Hard Work & Doing Your Best: A Family History Story Paperback

Enjoy a young boy’s story of his first job in the early 1900s threshing hay with a horse-drawn thresher. This book embodies the value of hard work and how it is important to always do our best. It encapsulates the message of expecting to be paid commensurate to one’s dedication or productivity on the job or in a career regardless of age. Teaching our children the value of hard work at an early age is a dying art. Our ancestors did not have the luxuries we enjoy, and a hard day’s work meant being able to survive in the early 1900s. It is important to remember where we came from and continue to emulate the hard work ethic of our ancestors, even if life maybe vastly different in today’s society.
