Abstract

Translate

Friedrich Slabbert started mowing the lawn when he was 10 years old. He explains that it is in part why he is the person he is today. Mowing the lawn was one of many chores Friedrich was responsible for while growing up, and it was one of the ways his parents helped instill two essential values in him: the importance of service and the discipline of systematic thinking. He still mows the lawn to this day, which he considers his quiet time.
