Our parents are our first and most important teachers. They shape us into the people we are today; the lessons they teach us stay with us forever. A user asked the forum, “What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned from your parents?”

Here are some responses he got!

NEVER STOP LEARNING AND GROWING

“I was struggling with my grades at school, and my dad sat with me and told me: “if you want to drop out of school and become a window cleaner, go ahead and do it. Just make sure you are the best window cleaner there is.” That stuck with me. I didn’t drop out of school and made it to University. I always try to be the best in what I do. My dad had a way to get through me.”

DONT BE CRUEL

“Dad used to love to tell the story of when he drove by some girls dressed up and waiting for their prom dates.

The giggle in his voice as he described driving into a puddle of muddy water to splash them is one of the key reasons I’ll never speak to him again (that and what he did to my little brother).”

TO LIVE BELOW MY MEANS

“My mom is a painter, and when we would draw when I was a kid, I would get frustrated that I “ruined my art” when I made a mistake.

She told me, “You can never ruin art. You just changed it a bit.” I don’t know why, but it stuck with me when creating anything. Just adapt.”
