Strongest Word Of Advice Your Dad Gave To You As a Teenager. by Truckpusher(m): 5:23pm On Oct 19, 2014
My Dad said something to me that still ring in my head like a bell of times.

Each time I remember this advice it reminds me of our unpredictable world ,where with one quick turn of event you are into a situation where getting out might become your worst nightmare and all the promises you have before you becomes an absolute waste of space as if no dream existed at all in the first place.

my Dad said to me that '' I have given you all that I can to the best of my ability ,it might not be perfect neither the best of it all But if in the future you cannot solidify with these opportunities and excel ,but indulge yourself in any illegal thing that will hurt you in any way - I have no tears to shed for you.''

My Dad continuously said this to me until few years when he stopped.

I want us to share experiences on how parental choice of words and application can make a child sit up instead of the normal shouting or cold war that exists between parents and a teenager.

Not really close to mine, can't sit in the same room with mine for long. Calls are always under 1min tops & usually one sided. Very formal relationship but then my mum is a whole new ball game all together. Can tell her almost anything. For her it was

"always remember where u're coming from'

To be very very sincere, is he to be blamed for the 'failure' (pardon my choice of word)?

Yes,
One thing I've learnt in life is, there's no one to blame for my failures but myself
I'm solely responsible for my success and failure

I don't know you, I don't know your story but I'd like you to know no one is smart or intelligent enough not to make mistakes
We all do
The beauty of it is we learn from it and it in turn makes us a better person
It's never too late to become a better man

Blaming him for your failures doesn't change anything
Just strive and be the man you've always wanted to be
Shalom!
