      Yes. I think my parent affect me a lots. But most of them I think it's not correct when I start pursuing my dream.

        That is par for the course. There is usually opposition to any action plan. Such opposition is often well-intentioned if not necessarily correct.

          I lost my mom in a fatal car accident when I was nineteen and my dad almost five years ago but that doesn't mean they don't affect me anymore.

          As a matter of fact, all of the very best traits I possess were largely influenced by both of them and I hope that positive influence continues on in me even though they are gone.

    My parents gave me love and taught me the difference between right and wrong. I had a stormy relationship with both of them as a boy and young man because I thought I was smarter than they were and didn't like the restrictions they placed on me.

    Unfortunately, there's no guide book for parenthood, at least not one that would make much of a difference. My parents did the best they could. If you can say that about anyone you've really got something as many parents these days don't make much of an effort at all.

    My mother died earlier this year. I found out some things about her I'd never known. She had a very hard life as a girl. Very hard. Most people would crumble if they were subjected to what she went through. If anyone in the world had a right to complain it was my mom. But she never did. She never complained. She always had a good word about eveyrone. I miss her. I miss my dad too.

      Thanks for sharing, Travlinguy. You remind me, my parents were also affected by their parent. But however, I think the most important thing is we need to enjoy this moment, Do what I need to do. Of course DREAM come first. Without dream, I think human should not be exist. Have my own business is my dream. I do very hard to pursue my dream. For what? for myself, and my family. I don't want to give a bad living style to my future wife, children.

        I think the thing we need to remember is that our parents, most parents anyway, want the best for us. Their idea of what that might be is often different than our own ideas. It took my dad a long time to realize I wasn't a junior version of him, though he did eventually figure that out.

        I have a close friend who treats his sons much the way my dad treated me. He expects his kids to be exactly like him and becomes angry when they're not. I try to diplomatically explain that people are different. Sometimes he gets it and sometimes his ego and anger get the better of him. So goes life...

          Totally agree with you travlinguy. Each people is different. I understand every parents have expectation to their child. one side, you want your child knows their roles in society and what should they do, and what they shouldn't. At the same time, you need to give them space to know themselves understand themselves. "Parents" it's not a easy job!

    When I was growing up, my parents moved 5 times.

    That had a huge impact on me, and the way I think.

    But I found them every time.
