This podcast is a reading of the fifth part of my six-part free verse poem about my personal heroes. This part concerns my dad who lived a difficult life in three continents and achieved both relative wealth, suffered poverty despite working long hours with excellent salaries, without ever complaining, shirking his responsibilities, blaming others or compromising his principles. The world never needed people like my dad more than it does today--men and women who set high standards for themselves and uncompromisingly met them, no matter the cost not for accolades, fame or or fortune, but simply because it is the right thing to do.
