During the time I stayed in the United
States, I had a long talk with my dad. Through that talk, I think learned a
lot.
It’s been really interesting that I
always have long talk with dad while other girls or boys at my age do not. I
have asked one of my best friends if she talks to her dad a lot, and she told
me: “Are you kidding me? Talking with my dad? I don’t even talk with my mum so
often! I mean, what should I talk when I am facing them? I don’t see there are
many things that I could talk with them; I would rather choose to talk with my
friends, because they’re much funnier.” And after that I was thinking, why I
like to talk with my dad? Well, it turned out that my dad is different from
others’ dads, he is a super dad.
One reason why teenagers do not like to
talk with their parents is because they don’t have similarities. In general
understanding, parents are serious and strict, and they only care about our
grades and their works. But my dad is not that typical dad. For some reasons,
it seems like he can read my mind, and know what I am thinking. So it is easy
to talk with him.
I remembered that day we talked about
marriage and relationship. This was the first time that we talked about this
topic. It might sound weird to talk about this with my dad, even it is a little
bit weird to talk this to mum, but I trust my dad and I know he would always be
my best backup. Before we officially initiated this talk, I was joking: “Dad,
would you think that it is a little bit early to talk about this topic? I mean,
there are still ten years for me to get married.” “Well, I and your mum think
that now is the perfect time to talk about this with you.” What he thought was,
if I want to find a boyfriend, this boy may not be rich, may not be good
looking, but he has to be responsible, which was exactly what I was thinking.
“Remember, appearance and fortune is not a good condition to see if a boy is
good or not. If he doesn’t have money, he could make money himself, if he
doesn’t look the best, the inside and his personality would make him looks even
better than the people who are born to be good looking, but if he doesn’t have
responsibility, then I would say, he can’t do anything
well.”
So actually from this talk which was
originally about marriage and relationship, I learned something beyond those. No
matter a person is good looking or rich, if he doesn’t have responsibility, then
his appearance and fortune would be useless. It is about the personality and the
inside of a person, is what valued. Appearance would fade away gradually;
fortune would be spent one day; but what inside you would never
lose.
