Imitations

To play into the old cliche of boys looking up to their fathers, I too dabble in that field. To be imitated by others is a great sign of reputability and this especially holds true as a parent. I cannot speak from a parent's point of view but I can imagine that having your children imitate you is a very flattering experience (excluding the "do as I say not as I do" moments).
My father and grandfather are two of the most hard working men that I know. Every day both of them bust their hinds to provide and do it with a smile on their faces. Knowing this I strive to do the same everyday and push myself to keep the standard going in the bloodline. I believe that everyone is indeed their own person and should be different, but if there is a good thing going on for the people around you, take a look at the little things and take notes. Implement some of those things in your life and see what happens over time.

  1. I think that most of us will end up putting our parents. We learned mostly everything from them. I go as far as imitating my parent's mannerisms.

  2. I'm with you a 100% on imitating parents. They are the people who made the most impact in my life. And I agree that most people who have amazing parents will strive to be just like them. But I also like how you said to take note of people around you if they are doing good. I think I'll start doing just that
