This happened recently and the advice was delivered by my dad. He told me that I am nearing the age of an adult and dicussed what an adult was and their purpose. Articulating that I would gain many responsibilites and that I had to acknowledge what was the best choice in making decisions. He mentioned details such as lazyness and arrogance which are qualities that can possess me once in a while. The details were mentioned , to exemplify that those pieces of my personality must disappear if I would want to be successful in life. He would itirate how he did not pass high school by ditching school and passing the day strolling in the streets. Like many others, he laments the decisions that he made in his early life, but that is why he motivates me. He does not want me to follow the same path, and after working in his job for a few days, I have realized that i do not want to that for the rest of my life. He works in the tile industry and can cause tiredness and does not award any fun. Then, he proceeds on clarifying that I should work at a job, and enjoy it. In watching people who do not do any type of labor and who gain an abundance amount of money, he encourages me to approach that type of job. I have told him that my dream is to commentate sports game, a commentator. He always has respected my choice as a career, but has also demanded that I should investigate if I can profit from such a profession. My dad has always been a figure in my life who I would have debt for, he tries to change my perception of the world and cares to give me important advices about life.
