Success
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson(1803-1882)
Q19.What does it mean to be successful? What does it mean to be a loser? Give your own definition.
Success, successive, successful.
Career, love, and family.
Are these a measurement of success?
For everyone, success has a different meaning.
For parents, it is to raise a child.
For a baby, it is to take the first step.
For a fisherman, it is to catch a fish.
My definition of being successful is to experience an exciting, thrilling life and at the end of the road, I would be able to confidentially say: “I am happy of my life and I am ready to experience it again.”In a converse manner, a loser is one who does not learn anything from their life. He or she takes a step back from life, leading to a non-content individual whom is on the road to being suicidal.
" While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about."
-Angela Schwindt.
so.... Q23. What is good parenting?
From my point of view good parenting provides the basic fundamentals of security, love, honesty and happiness. All these values a child should experience from his or her parents.
I also think that parents should be an authority for their children but not impose their own view. They usually give them good advices, but they also should let them make their own decision, no matter what the consequence it will bring.
