What the Duda Family Story Teaches Us

Two academic parents — metallurgy and engineering professors at the same university. A father-in-law who was a famous Polish-Jewish poet. A high-school-teacher wife. A single daughter who became a lawyer. A small Kraków-academic-family tree that produced a 10-year Polish president.

For every family — large or small, famous or otherwise — the Duda story carries the same lesson. Sometimes two parents in the same profession produce children who go on to different careers. Both Andrzej's parents were AGH professors; he became a lawyer-politician. Write down the patterns — and the breaks from those patterns.
