Marketing Truth on HubPages

Hi I'm Marco Brown from Dayton, Ohio. I will share with you some of my earlier experiences in life because I feel that those times have molded me into the man that I am today.

My paternal grandparents were very loving and caring and allowed me to spend plenty of time with them in my earlier childhood. From the age of about 12 years old I remember vividly that my grandmother had lost her sight while in her 30's due to glaucoma and the surgeries and treatment of the 1940's and 1950's didn't seem to help her condition much.

This lady would not let anything such as being blind, hold her down or stop her from doing what she intended to do. My part as a seeing eyed human (lol) was to be her eyes and help her with the cooking, shopping, cleaning and anything else that she wanted to do.

I remember at times that I would get a little irritated because I wanted to be outside with the other kids while they were happy at play, but the feeling of irritation soon passed away becaused I realized that I had a bigger responsibility.

My grandparents were blessed with a part time job. This helped to put some bread on the table for the household.  They had two offices which had to be cleaned, the one a fairly large marketing office on Wednesday and both on Saturdays including the other which was a general construction firm.

They received a combined total of $ 148.00 a month for their time spent, plus they had to purchase their own cleaning supplies. I'll cut it short and just say that my time spent with my grandparents taught me some very valuable life skills. Most of all I am thankful to them for showing me how important that it is to be upright, respectable and honest in life. That's worth more than gold.

After retiring from 28 years of public service I am now having fun and pursuing an active career in internet marketing.
