Where you hang your feelings is where you hang your focus.

We are all entitled to our own share of mistakes and learning experiences in life. No one should take them away from us. Not even our parents.

Who said that parents_ beliefs should be adopted by their children?

It__ safer/ easier to follow the script and complain how broken some things are in that script, than to attempt to change those things.

Our parents are not the only people on this planet, and we should not base our life choices on what they want (what will bring them a peace of mind, satisfaction, and give them a reason to brag), but we should make those choices keeping in mind that there are upwards of 7,5 billion people in this world, and that we should use our talents and energy trying to improve the lives of as many of them as possible.

It was a world that most fans never saw. One that many dreamed of.

We avoid risks in life only to die, and end up facing the greatest risk which is having lived life risking nothing at all.

If parents want __uccess stories_ to share at gatherings they should provide themselves with those, and they should not use their children for that purpose.

Parents like to think of themselves as Batmans, and of their children as Gotham Cities. Gotham City depends on Batman for its survival, and Batman delivers. This belief prevents parents from letting those young adults actually live their lives.

They know a lot, but they don__ know everything, and they can__ advise you on anything.They can only tell you what they believe worked / or didn__ work for them.

when true purpose calls, double mindedness, confusion and frustration come along.

Because you do it out of passion, as well as hoping it will bring better opportunity. It's like you're investing in yourself, so although you don't see anything up front there's always the possibility that the kind of compensation that is priceless can come later. For someone who's striving to get where they're meant to be, opportunity over a quick buck is something that will always be taken by the wise. Because they know opportunity is king, and all other benefits will follow...

You don__ need to provide your parents with a __uccess story_ to share at gatherings.

People have a much greater chance of finding something they__l enjoy doing and making those greatest contributions when they trust themselves and are free to make their own life choices (are not marionettes in the hands of their parents).

Pushing them (children) into a career that is __ractical_/ __afe_/ prestigious/ well-paying doesn__ count as help. It__ how parents satisfy their own needs.

It__ a mistake to believe that they (parents) are responsible for their children__ best future. This responsibility is on their children, and that__ the message they should be conveying to their children on a daily basis.

We grow up in a belief system according to which children should always make their parents proud and happy (instead of making themselves proud and happy) - and that__ unfortunately the belief system in most cultures.

That__ not our role here, provide our parents with a __uccess story_ to share at gatherings. Our role here is to contribute the best we can to the society. Use our talents and make sure we add the greatest value possible to other people__ lives.
