ANNIVERSARY WEEK: DAY FIVE

DAY FIVE: Humility

I know, I know- you're surprised, right? He's goofy and cynical. Well, underneath that tough exterior is one humble man.

In college, Dan took a job at Toys R Us. Picture a 6'6" tall guy whose only interests are business and (I'll be honest) getting a date. But in order to earn money for his classes, Dan took a job at Toys R Us as well as at an Italian restaurant. He drove around an old car and bought oatmeal in bulk sacks so he could afford to go to school. (His parents were unaware of his situation and, in retrospect, would have given him money for more groceries in case you're wondering.)

To this day, I appreciate how anywhere Dan has gotten in life he has arrived with two feet planted humbly on the ground working very hard.
