One old fisherman decided that he deserved to himself rest, and came it is time to depart from affairs. He called the grown-up son and told it:
- I report to you, the son, the business to which I gave all life. Here my boat, networks, map of fish places, here and lodge ashore. I give all this to you - take and rejoice. Now all this yours, you do not need anything to be engaged in fishing craft as I was engaged in it. The son sadly looked at the father and quietly answered him:
- The father, to become the same good fisherman what was you, it is necessary to devote to this business all life. And the gift you did not give me any benefit, and deprived of me the choice! Perhaps, I would become the doctor or the actor, the scientist or the pilot … I could follow the dictates of heart, and you give me about what I did not even ask you.
Never it is necessary to make decisions for our children. They live the life, they should pass its lessons and to make the choice, without our intervention. Parents have to come to the rescue if children need it, but to impose it there is no sense. What we wanted what we aspired to, it will be only our desires and the purposes, but not desires and the purposes of our children. What we appreciate and what we value, can not cause in them the same relation, and it should be accepted quietly and without condemnation.
