Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there.
I attribute most of my successes in life and none of my failures to my parents. My mom made sure I was ready to succeed outside "the nest" and was a major contributor to my moral compass.
When I was working, part of my job from time to time was training others on business ethics and standards of business conduct. Often I would be asked how one determines if an action or decision is "ethical" - sometimes a tricky question. Among other criteria, I would often tell them that I applied "the mom test" -- how would I feel if I had to explain my action to my mom.

My mother and my wife were the two finest ladies I've ever known.
More than anything else, I attribute my long life (99 years) to these two wonderful ladies.
