or by their actions you learnt something....

Everyday my dad tries to teach me something new about the world, a sage piece of information that he has learned throughout his many years of experience. One valuable truth he taught me is the people everywhere always want to take YOUR money, but they never want to give any of it up themselves. That's why when you go to the store to get a refund, there will always be some reason that you can't get a refund, like that the item was on sale so they don't give you refunds. They also have a time limit on when you can get refunds, and even if they do give a refund, it's probably only partial. There will also be some excuse not to give you cash money, so instead of giving you that, they'll send your refund to the bank through your credit card. My dad used this example to explain that one common characteristic of all people is that if they have to, they'll be willing to give up anything else except money.

My dad also taught me how everything in the world is fixed, and that everything is all figured out. I've found that this piece of wisdom is applicable in many of life's would-be situations. Aside from teaching me these truths, he also taught me how to drive a car like a pro. And aside from this, I still keep learning things from my dad even now.

My mother taught me tolerance from an early age. She taught that all roads lead to God. She showed by her example that you look first at the person, then at the color of their skin, their religion, or their nationality.

I learned to trust my kid to make smart decisions, one thing my dad never did learn. Oh well... I still love him...
