My dad's the best. Built part of the BAM railroad as a student. Worked at a translator in Cuba for 7 years. Moved to Canada from the USSR in the 90's at 47 years old. Hustled hard sometimes working 14 jobs at the same time once until he found his calling in being a landlord. Brought me with him to work: renovating, cleaning, painting apartments. Most avid reader I know. At least 4 books a week is the norm. Taught me a lot about dealing with other people, life. Love him <3 I think he's the most successful immigration story I know of. From nothing to millionaire (kinda, if he sells everything) starting at 47 with no knowledge of the language or functioning of capitalism. Then helped 90% of his friends from Russia move and get settled in Canada.
