Lesson learned from a dad's repetitive phrase

Jack Harbaugh repeatedly used the phrase 'let's attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind and don't take any wooden nickels' with his kids, without ever getting a reaction. However, years later, his son Jim Harbaugh, now a head coach at Stanford, used the same phrase in a press conference. This incident highlights the important lesson that even though it may seem like our children are not paying attention, they are listening and absorbing the messages we share with them.
