My mother taught me that looking after our financial capital is not enough. We need to do everything we can to protect and nurture our human capital.

My mom has taught me that in life you’ve always got to give of yourself first. She pushed through as a single mom to give me the best bilingual education there was. My mom always somehow managed to be there for us, even though she had to make it work. Once she remarried things were a bit different...

My mother Kay Smith, who is now 92, taught me so much….I learned from my mom to never accept a lousy seat in a restaurant. Usually women are seated by the kitchen and I always speak up—and am moved.

She is grounded in her faith in God. That faith has empowered her to face one obstacle after another with patience and grace...

My mom taught me to love words. We were poor when I was a kid, so we never had the latest toys.

I recently visited my mom for her birthday last week. She always possessed a practical, no-nonsense attitude. Mom is the personification of a hip 80 year-old, but she reminds me often that growing up during the Depression gives her the edge of realism. Her mind is as sharp as a tack, so even at her...
