HARD WORK, DEDICATION AND FEARLESS EXPERIENCE ARE A GOOD RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

DR. JOHN A. HARDY, OWNER OF ACADEMY FOOT AND ORTHOTIC CLINICS HAS ALWAYS LIVED BY THE ADAGE 'WORK HARD, PLAY HARD AND LIVE A LONG SUCCESSFUL LIFE', AND THUS FAR THIS ADAGE HAS SERVED ME WELL.

MY FATHER, REST HIS SOUL WAS A VERY HARD WORKER AND INSTILLED IN US THE NEED TO WORK HARD IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO YOUR EDUCATION.  BEING NUMBER ONE AND PUSHING YOURSELF WAS VERY IMPORTANT.  THERE WAS NO PRIZE FOR BEING SECOND.  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND WAS IN MOST CASES HARD WORK. ACTUALLY I ALWAYS ENJOYED HARD WORK AND DOING THE BEST YOU POSSIBLY COULD.  I ALSO LIVE ON THE PRAISE MODE AND ENJOYED BEING ACKNOWLEDGED FOR MY ACHIEVEMENTS.

WE WERE ALSO TAUGHT TO TAKE CALCULATED RISKS AND NOT TO BE AFRAID OF LIFE.  WE SKIED, SAILED, RODE HORSES, MOTORCYCLES, LEARNED TO FLY AT 15, SKYDIVE, SCUBA DIVE, YOU NAME IT, WE DID IT.  IF YOU ARE NOT LIVING ON THE EDGE AND MOMENT, YOU ARE TAKING UP TOO MUCH SPACE.  EVERYBODY DIES BUT NOT EVERYBODY LIVES.  LIVING YOUR LIFE FULLY AND COMPLETELY IS MUCH MORE REWARDING.

I HAVE CARRIED THIS WORK ETHIC OVER TO MY TORONTO FOOT CLINIC.  TRAINING, MOTIVATING AND INSPIRING MY STAFF OF FOOT SPECIALISTS AND SUPPORT STAFF IS WHERE WE EXCELL.  IT IS NOT A JOB BUT AN EXTREMELY REWARDING CAREER WHERE WE DO OUR UTMOST BEST TO MAKE EVERY PATIENT VISIT A SUCCESSFUL ONE EVERY TIME.  

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE A MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY OF SATISFIED PATIENTS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US AT 416-465-8737 AND EXPERIENCE THE 'DR. HARDY DIFFERENCE'.
