President Ronald Reagan led by example, which is something that his son, Michael Reagan, can attest to. Michael is not only the son of the great 40th president of the United States, but he is also the author of the book, Lessons my Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan, which reflects on the wisdom imparted to Michael’s life from his dad. He also discusses how important it is for parents to spend time with their children, no matter how busy their lives may be. “The greatest lesson he taught me was forgiveness,” Michael says. This one integral lesson changed the course of his life forever. Michael also discusses the selfless attitude that his father had when it came to his legacy as president.
