+ | <p>Six Life Lessons from your Dad</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>1) Recognizing that life is short, you have limited control, and you never know when your circumstances and those of the people you love may change so take (reasonable) pleasure when you can.<br> | ||
+ | 2) Fear of being alone due to having few, truly special opportunities - romantic, social, or business.<br> | ||
+ | 3) Respecting a supernatural influence guiding us to new people.<br> | ||
+ | 4) Fundamental belief in being open - to new people, ideas, and ways of experiencing life.<br> | ||
+ | 5) Greater power in cultivating a larger personal network, to reach more people and what they know, including the contacts of your contacts. (See social networking web sites like Facebook where people may list huge numbers of friends.)<br> | ||
+ | 6) Discomfort in the possible implication that had we (or our parents) been more selective, our children (or we ourselves) would not have been born, or entered into some special relationship.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>When you work on teams, be on guard for conflicts of interest popping up around you, especially these signs: ambiguous responsibilities, withholding of best efforts, partial disclosures, and conflicting loyalties. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Some readers told me that they had been abused as young children but through therapy and friendship, they made progress in overcoming it. But had they been shunned, they may have not recovered. At the same time, they wanted their own children to be highly selective in who they chose as friends! Some readers suggested that my words about victims of abuse such as "Watch out ..." were too strong or did not account for the possibility of successful therapy. Others suggested that I keep the wording I had or make it even stronger. I put much thought into striking a reasonable balance. Please refer to these points in the letter (emphasis added):</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Remember the ethics that you learned in the Ten Commandments, "Honor your Father and Mother ...". It does not say love your parents. Love between people is voluntary. No parents are perfect and some are abusive. So it is a good sign when someone rises above all of our imperfections and finds a way to at least honor their parents. Yet if you observe a person dishonoring someone else, especially one of their own parents, be realistic. Ask why you would have confidence that they might consistently honor or love you.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | People who view one or both of their parents as heroes may be prepared to transfer that trust to a deserving third person - perhaps you - especially if you remind them of the parent that they view as a hero.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | 2) Are you comfortable in your own skin?<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | When you look in the mirror do you like the person who stares back? Any body type can have inner beauty. Watch out for people who strongly dislike part of their own body. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | People can't be more honest with you than they are with themselves. When someone says they are working hard, are they being completely honest or are they fooling themself? The same with diet and exercise. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>4) Who are your mentors and mentees?<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Successful people commonly volunteer to help others become successful. The good feeling that comes from mentoring can be more powerful than money. Especially in your early career, the mentoring of a good boss, as well as colleagues, may be more valuable than your paycheck.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>3) Do you consistently help and avoid hurting people, including yourself and others?<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Associate with people who make helping others a priority in their lives. Look deeper than their choice of professions and ask whether they truly enjoy helping others. Consistently helping includes making the ordinary fun, being generous, and settling disputes. Avoid hurting yourself includes substance abuse - alcohol, drugs, and unhealthy food.</p> | ||

+ | <p>Everyone deserves respect and compassion as a human being. [Introduction & Conclusion]</p> | ||

+ | <p>Be careful in applying these life lessons not to dismiss people. [Conclusion]</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Thanks for listening and tolerating your old man. At least a few times in your life, you will fall into trouble. In fact, I hesitated to write this letter, out of concern that you might be reluctant to seek my help, if you did not follow my advice. Don't worry. I am still working towards these ideals myself. Count on my best efforts to help you, just as many people help me. I am your friend,hollister, as well as your father. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>"I am your friend, as well as your father" is an underlying theme of the entire letter. It does not mean that parents should be peers or buddies of their children. It is more leadership by example. It means keeping the best interests of late adolescent or adult children in mind, restraint by progressively speaking in terms of suggestions instead of orders as children get older, being open to children sometimes mentoring parents, making fair compromises when you can't please everyone, avoid pitting family members against each other, and especially offering help without controlling, puppet strings. The key is for parents to act as loyal friends in good times, so that later, when a child may really need a parent's help (or vice versa), they can ask for it comfortably, promptly, and without drama. In fact, this idea may apply more broadly than to just parents and children. Years ago when I asked a peer friend for help, his first words were, "I am glad that you were comfortable asking me."</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>My Hindu friends say, "Help ever, hurt never." Ever and never are high standards, with many cases that appear to have both help and hurt,hollister. Examples: hurt a little now, but help much in the long-run; or hurt yourself a bit to greatly help someone else. Gravitate towards people who find the middle ground. Watch out for people who are unrealistic, doormats, or selfish. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>So it is a good sign when someone has attracted mentors and freely gives them credit. It is also a good sign when someone who is already successful takes the time to raise others up. Watch out for people who claim to be successful and say they did it all on their own. Some people are partially ready for this question and can tell you about their mentors, but not their mentees. They don't get it. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | 5) Who are your friends and colleagues?<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | It is a good sign if someone loyally maintains friendships over many years. Look at the people surrounding a potential new friend or colleague. Would you want to associate with them? </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Look at how people manage expectations. Do they know what they want and is it just? Do they say anything to get their way? Or do they under promise and over deliver? Do they set reasonable boundaries or are their boundaries fluid? </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>The keys to success are to prioritize according to your passions & values, manage your time & health, learn from mistakes, delegate unambiguously, adapt continuously, forgive quickly (yourself & others), apologize bravely, and fight persistently. Success in major goals,mulberry, like earning a degree, running a business, recovering from severe illness, or nurturing love at times requires the visible commitment of your total strength & restraint from pursuing conflicting goals. <br> | ||

+ | <p>FAQ-2. Is early qualification of new people in your life practical? (Revised July 18, 2009)</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Watch out for people who rely upon control, rather than up-front, principled, mutual interest. A loyal friend will keep your interests in mind and suggest win-win compromises, when your interests diverge. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Listen circumspectly to what people communicate, spoken and unspoken, as if you had a third ear connected to your heart.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>FAQ-3. Is there a conflict between cautious intimacy with victims of abuse (life lesson #1) and helping others (life lesson #3)?</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p> <br> | ||
+ | Probe deeply, past appearance and even intelligence, to core character that people develop through experience. Ask these six hard questions of potential lovers, friends, and colleagues - patiently - sometimes allowing months for the true answers to emerge:<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | 1) Do you have a good relationship with your parents, or if this is not possible, have you made peace with your parents?<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | We are born into this world dependent on parents and immediate family for everything that we need to survive. What kids learn from this experience depends on how well their parents lived up to this trust. Did the parents act maturely, in the best interests of their kids? Watch out for people who were neglected or abused, even verbally, by their parents. Unless they are making peace with it as adults, their unresolved anger at being hurt by a protector could turn into rage and explode on you.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Do we need to be involved with someone for a long time before we can answer these questions? If so, does it make it impractical or arrogant to ask them early in a new relationship? This is a common response to this article, often based on one or more of the following underlying objections:</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Nurture your friendships, but listen to your inner voice. Once in a while, if you schedule an event that later seems forced, postpone it with confidence. People who you would want as friends will understand. A similar event may be just around the corner - and even more fun.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | 6) Do you consistently follow these guidelines?<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Watch how people respond after hard-won success or bitter failure. Some people's worst mistakes occur soon after hard-won success. Others are quitters, who take themselves out of the game after failures. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Associate with people who bravely deal with bad news. The famous boxer Joe Louis once said, "He can run, but he can't hide." People who are honest with themselves insist on hearing bad news and responding to it immediately.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>In business, venture capitalists invest to accelerate success, but usually not to make the difference between success and failure. Similarly, be open to the possibility of growth in people, but be humble about your ability to change them. Anybody can say that they have changed. Believe it only after you understand the struggle that caused change and after you see deeds that demonstrate it.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | No one succeeds all the time. 100% is an "A" in school. But in the real world of risk & reward, 80% to 90% is an "A." But if you are under-challenged and miss a chance to learn from mistakes, 100% might be a "B." </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Be careful in applying these life lessons not to dismiss people. An early mentor told me that he silently asks these questions as he meets new people: Would I trust this person with managing a $1,000 project? a $10,000 project? a $100,000 project? Be open to many role players in your life, but remember your few, true, lifelong friends.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>I take these points seriously and suggest that if we are to apply these Life Lessons effectively, we should apply them humbly, as follows: Proceed slowly in new relationships, allow the truth to naturally emerge, as is the custom in some cultures. Recognize that we will never know someone else completely. But if we pay attention to small signs, we can learn enough to make good, early choices,hollister france. Be brave in asking these questions and be a patient and keen listener as you sort out their answers. And remember that none of us are perfect. A good match may be someone whose foibles are merely complementary to our own.</p> | ||

+ | <p>Dear Danielle and Jonathan,<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Good luck tomorrow on your first day of school, Danielle's senior year and Jonathan's freshman year at the University of Missouri. I love you both and am bursting with pride about your accomplishments and potential to make a contribution in the world. I am also pleased that you live in the same city, Columbia, and hope that you can continue to be a source of strength for each other.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As I close my eyes, the years melt away, and I can see myself at your ages, 21 and 18, on my college campus: walking to class, browsing in the book store, engaged with friends, playing sports, studying late at night, and just being inspired by the motivated and talented people surrounding me. You are so fortunate now.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | But the time between being a college student and being the parent of college students passes so quickly. To help you use your time well, I have compiled a list of life lessons. It draws upon my interactions with many people. It draws upon my many failures, as well as my successes. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Everyone deserves respect and compassion as a human being. But my hope is that as you meet new people,hollister, especially people with whom you may become close or intimate, you can use it to sort out who you can trust. As your grandfather drove me to college in 1976, he tried to do something similar by quoting Shakespeare. But his advice was over my head. So I will try to be more practical with you two. In a few years, perhaps you can do even better?<br> | ||

Loyal Friends find a moment when your heart & mind are open to convey hard truths - to help you.

Letter to my children, just before the start of their college year

2) Fear of being alone due to having few, truly special opportunities - romantic, social, or business.
3) Respecting a supernatural influence guiding us to new people.

When you work on teams, be on guard for conflicts of interest popping up around you, especially these signs: ambiguous responsibilities, withholding of best efforts, partial disclosures, and conflicting loyalties.
Some readers told me that they had been abused as young children but through therapy and friendship, they made progress in overcoming it. But had they been shunned, they may have not recovered. At the same time, they wanted their own children to be highly selective in who they chose as friends! Some readers suggested that my words about victims of abuse such as "Watch out ..." were too strong or did not account for the possibility of successful therapy. Others suggested that I keep the wording I had or make it even stronger. I put much thought into striking a reasonable balance. Please refer to these points in the letter (emphasis added):
Remember the ethics that you learned in the Ten Commandments, "Honor your Father and Mother ...". It does not say love your parents. Love between people is voluntary. No parents are perfect and some are abusive. So it is a good sign when someone rises above all of our imperfections and finds a way to at least honor their parents.

Be careful in applying these life lessons not to dismiss people. [Conclusion]
Thanks for listening and tolerating your old man. At least a few times in your life, you will fall into trouble. In fact, I hesitated to write this letter, out of concern that you might be reluctant to seek my help, if you did not follow my advice. Don't worry. I am still working towards these ideals myself. Count on my best efforts to help you, just as many people help me. I am your friend,hollister, as well as your father.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
"I am your friend, as well as your father" is an underlying theme of the entire letter. It does not mean that parents should be peers or buddies of their children. It is more leadership by example. It means keeping the best interests of late adolescent or adult children in mind, restraint by progressively speaking in terms of suggestions instead of orders as children get older, being open to children sometimes mentoring parents, making fair compromises when you can't please everyone, avoid pitting family members against each other, and especially offering help without controlling, puppet strings.

Watch out for people who are unrealistic, doormats, or selfish.
So it is a good sign when someone has attracted mentors and freely gives them credit. It is also a good sign when someone who is already successful takes the time to raise others up. Watch out for people who claim to be successful and say they did it all on their own. Some people are partially ready for this question and can tell you about their mentors, but not their mentees. They don't get it.
5) Who are your friends and colleagues?
It is a good sign if someone loyally maintains friendships over many years. Look at the people surrounding a potential new friend or colleague. Would you want to associate with them?
Look at how people manage expectations. Do they know what they want and is it just? Do they say anything to get their way? Or do they under promise and over deliver? Do they set reasonable boundaries or are their boundaries fluid?
The keys to success are to prioritize according to your passions & values, manage your time & health, learn from mistakes, delegate unambiguously, adapt continuously, forgive quickly (yourself & others), apologize bravely, and fight persistently. Success in major goals,mulberry, like earning a degree, running a business, recovering from severe illness, or nurturing love at times requires the visible commitment of your total strength & restraint from pursuing conflicting goals.

FAQ-2. Is early qualification of new people in your life practical? (Revised July 18, 2009)
Watch out for people who rely upon control, rather than up-front, principled, mutual interest. A loyal friend will keep your interests in mind and suggest win-win compromises, when your interests diverge.
Listen circumspectly to what people communicate, spoken and unspoken, as if you had a third ear connected to your heart.
FAQ-3. Is there a conflict between cautious intimacy with victims of abuse (life lesson #1) and helping others (life lesson #3)?
Probe deeply, past appearance and even intelligence, to core character that people develop through experience. Ask these six hard questions of potential lovers, friends, and colleagues - patiently - sometimes allowing months for the true answers to emerge:
1) Do you have a good relationship with your parents, or if this is not possible, have you made peace with your parents?
We are born into this world dependent on parents and immediate family for everything that we need to survive. What kids learn from this experience depends on how well their parents lived up to this trust. Did the parents act maturely, in the best interests of their kids? Watch out for people who were neglected or abused, even verbally, by their parents. Unless they are making peace with it as adults, their unresolved anger at being hurt by a protector could turn into rage and explode on you.
Do we need to be involved with someone for a long time before we can answer these questions? If so, does it make it impractical or arrogant to ask them early in a new relationship? This is a common response to this article, often based on one or more of the following underlying objections:
Nurture your friendships, but listen to your inner voice. Once in a while, if you schedule an event that later seems forced, postpone it with confidence. People who you would want as friends will understand. A similar event may be just around the corner - and even more fun.
6) Do you consistently follow these guidelines?
Watch how people respond after hard-won success or bitter failure. Some people's worst mistakes occur soon after hard-won success. Others are quitters, who take themselves out of the game after failures.
Associate with people who bravely deal with bad news. The famous boxer Joe Louis once said, "He can run, but he can't hide." People who are honest with themselves insist on hearing bad news and responding to it immediately.
In business, venture capitalists invest to accelerate success, but usually not to make the difference between success and failure. Similarly, be open to the possibility of growth in people, but be humble about your ability to change them. Anybody can say that they have changed. Believe it only after you understand the struggle that caused change and after you see deeds that demonstrate it.
No one succeeds all the time. 100% is an "A" in school. But in the real world of risk & reward, 80% to 90% is an "A." But if you are under-challenged and miss a chance to learn from mistakes, 100% might be a "B."
Be careful in applying these life lessons not to dismiss people. An early mentor told me that he silently asks these questions as he meets new people: Would I trust this person with managing a $1,000 project? a $10,000 project? a $100,000 project? Be open to many role players in your life, but remember your few, true, lifelong friends.
I take these points seriously and suggest that if we are to apply these Life Lessons effectively, we should apply them humbly, as follows: Proceed slowly in new relationships, allow the truth to naturally emerge, as is the custom in some cultures. Recognize that we will never know someone else completely. But if we pay attention to small signs, we can learn enough to make good, early choices,hollister france. Be brave in asking these questions and be a patient and keen listener as you sort out their answers. And remember that none of us are perfect. A good match may be someone whose foibles are merely complementary to our own.
Dear Danielle and Jonathan,
Good luck tomorrow on your first day of school, Danielle's senior year and Jonathan's freshman year at the University of Missouri. I love you both and am bursting with pride about your accomplishments and potential to make a contribution in the world. I am also pleased that you live in the same city, Columbia, and hope that you can continue to be a source of strength for each other.
As I close my eyes, the years melt away, and I can see myself at your ages, 21 and 18, on my college campus: walking to class, browsing in the book store, engaged with friends, playing sports, studying late at night, and just being inspired by the motivated and talented people surrounding me. You are so fortunate now.
But the time between being a college student and being the parent of college students passes so quickly. To help you use your time well, I have compiled a list of life lessons. It draws upon my interactions with many people. It draws upon my many failures, as well as my successes.
Everyone deserves respect and compassion as a human being. But my hope is that as you meet new people,hollister, especially people with whom you may become close or intimate, you can use it to sort out who you can trust. As your grandfather drove me to college in 1976, he tried to do something similar by quoting Shakespeare. But his advice was over my head. So I will try to be more practical with you two. In a few years, perhaps you can do even better?
Love, Dad
