Listener’s Lesson of the Year: Hard Work Pays Off

Yesterday we asked who taught you something in 2010 and what you learned. Takeaway listener Carlos Vargas, an insurance agent from Stoughton, Massachusetts, joined the conversation and told us his younger son taught him one of his biggest lessons of the year: that hard work and perseverance pay off. Vargas’s son worked his way into college and just passed all of his first semester classes at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island.
