From the very first time, I knew that my father was different from other dad. Mostly, many sons in the world want to be like their father. As a child, I realize that all the time I spent until now was to figure out and try to be like him. I never want to disappoint him. There are many things that I already learned from him that I try to shared.
First. Family comes first. Whatever you do or wherever you are, you can’t forget about your family. It doesn’t mean you have to spend all the time with them, but I just want to emphasize that you must pay attention to your family as much as you can. There are no other persons who will care about you except your family.
Second. Do the right thing. What I mean is do it on the right track. By doing this, you wouldn’t get into troubles. But, when it comes to trouble you must find a way to solve it. The more you run away from troubles, the more troubles you’re going to get. A friend said to me that “A successful person is a person who has problem and solve it, not one who doesn’t have problem.”
Third. Love your job. Many people think that they’re going to love their job because it makes big money. That people won’t succeed because they only did their job according to some routines. My father loves his job. He works from 8.00 am in the morning to 5 pm in the evening. He also works on Saturday. When he gets home in the evening he always felt happy.
Fourth. Give respect and get respect. He always said to me that “Don’t smile at people because they smile at you”. What he means is when you smile at people you give them some respect and by doing it you probably would get more respect from them.
Fifth. Don’t be selfish. This is the key to the other thing I’ve said before. It’s a nature human characteristic, but it must be controlled. Otherwise, it’s going to lead you to huge problems. You wont be successful if you’re selfish. You can’t get along with people or even with your family if you only think about yourself.
