Answer:
This weekend, my mother celebrates her 60th birthday. In two months, my father will celebrate his 60th as well. Unfortunately, the miles separate us. And I regret not being able to be there to celebrate with them.
My mother and father have always been wonderful parents to me. They have worked hard to provide a stable foundation for my life and future.
They have taught me invaluable life lessons about work, marriage, parenting, relationships, and life. And to celebrate their 60th birthday, I thought I would use this public forum to give them the praise they deserve and to share with you some of my lessons learned in life thanks to my parents.
60 Life Lessons I Learned From My Parents
Admit mistakes. It would be foolish for me to claim my parents have been perfect. They aren’t. But when they make a mistake, they humbly admit it. And work to fix it.
Appreciate teachers. My mom worked a number of jobs while I was growing up ― including being a teacher. From her, I learned to appreciate the time, energy, commitment, and care that teachers show every day.
Assist your neighbor whenever possible. Everywhere I’ve lived, my parents knew our neighbors. More importantly, they recognized their needs and assisted when possible.
Attend church. Worship has always been important to my family. Then and now.
Be a good friend to find a good friend. Healthy friends cultivate healthy friendships. And my parents taught and modeled what it means to be a good friend to others.
Be content with little. There were numerous times growing up when money was tight. Nevertheless, my parents were content in it.
Be content with much. There were also times when the bank accounts were healthy. Even more impressive, my parents were content then as well.
Be humble. We have nothing to prove. But we have everything to offer.
Be open to criticism. We never stop learning, growing, and changing. My mother and father were always open to being challenged in new ways.
Be quick to help. If a need in the community was articulated, my parents were among the first to be there. They set a healthy example from the very beginning that life is not all about getting… it’s about giving.
Care about the right things.
