20 Internet users tell, in emotional reports, what were the biggest lessons they learned from their parents

A sense of respect, honesty and responsibility are just some of the concepts that a good father must pass on to his children. When a man dedicates himself to doing his best to make his children good people, the lessons imparted last a lifetime. This is what is clear from the exciting reports made by netizens who use Reddit.

O awesome.club prepared a selection of comments posted by people who carry in a special place everything they learned from the most important man in their lives. As you can see below, the stories are beyond touching. Check out!

Regarding the “make things better” aspect, my father taught me that we should always leave the place better, or at the very least, the same way it was when we arrived there. He was talking about camping in the woods, but I try to apply that to a lot of other things as well. 🇧🇷

Buying kids the latest toys or other things isn’t as important as enjoying time with them. I realized in the last few years how many places my father took me and all the activities he did with me, things that were not in his comfort zone. But he really found happiness in spending time with us. We didn’t have a lot of money, so we didn’t have a lot of “stuff”, but I feel very lucky to have had a father who was as present as possible. If I become a parent, this is one of the most important values ​​I want to keep in mind. © communityandw**e

My father has the same sense of curiosity as I do, so he knew a lot. That is to say, every time I asked him a question, he most likely had an answer for me. But the coolest thing is that he didn’t ignore me as a kid, even if he was busy. He would talk to me about every question I had, and I usually had 6 or 7 questions to ask him if it was an unfamiliar topic. Fortunately, I’m young enough to have grown up with Internet access, so when my dad didn’t know how to answer my questions right away, we’d either research them together or he’d answer later when I remembered the question. He also taught me how to act in an argument, to calmly present my arguments/opinions and any signs of support without taking anything personally. And that helps me a lot today, because I don’t feel like I’m being attacked when I talk to people and we end up disagreeing about something. It also means that I don’t go around posting silly things on social media just because I think someone said something negative about a belief of mine. © Nozomi412

My favorite of my dad’s quotes comes from the early 2000s. He passed away 11 years ago. “If the way this world works starts to make sense to you, you better start worrying about yourself.” © NotSure733

I learned to be selfless, to feed everyone else before sitting at the table, to enjoy taking care of someone. Growing vegetables, fixing a sink or assembling something if necessary. I learned diplomacy, patience and practical sense. Paying attention to the sound my car is making and the movement when I turn or release the steering wheel. To have resilience and perseverance. That I must work hard and always give the best I can, because that’s all I can do. He taught me responsibility and morals, regardless of religion or politics. Cutting parsley and preparing steak, frying potatoes and slicing thin tomatoes. My father is an immigrant, an engineer, a man of practical knowledge, but sensitive and affectionate. I wouldn’t be who I am or have what I have without him—everything I am or ever will be is because of him (and my mother, who is just as amazing). © facialscanbefatal

My father used to say, “You don’t have to pay someone for anything you can learn to do yourself.” Today, I am very independent and I am always learning new things that allow me to never get stuck in the same place. He was certainly poor and couldn’t afford anything, but it had very positive effects!! © Southernsparrow1234

I learned that good men treat good women the way they would like their mother to be treated. I grew up in a home with a strong sense of family. My parents love each other, their marriage is amazing. They set the stage for what I look for in a relationship. My father treats my mother as an equal. After all, you get back what you give. I see so many toxic relationships, and I’m so happy to have these great role models showing me what’s good too. The other part of it has to do with the “good woman”. My father taught me to be just that, someone deserving of such love and kindness. As I said, you get what you give. © DontPanic42H2G2

I learned how to love people unconditionally. My father is the most patient, loyal and dedicated person I have ever met. He didn’t have a very good example to be inspired by, as his father was abusive and had problems with aggression, but he is living proof that it is possible to break this cycle in the relationship with his own children. © whoworeitworse

My dad always talked to me like an adult. When he wanted me to do something, he spent time explaining why (especially if it was difficult). He never used as an argument “because I said so” or “because I am the adult”. If I resisted, he’d run me over with his logic and I’d end up agreeing. That went for everything from making me work in the yard to apologizing to someone. That’s why I always felt comfortable turning to him with my problems. My father would ask what my alternatives were, and we would go over each one together. And he would tell me what he thought was the right answer, but in the end, he let me choose for myself. I think the fact that he allowed me to act on my decision was what prepared me for adulthood. © theAfroViking

“Hard work pays off.” This doesn’t always mean that hard work is rewarded with immediate success. It can take years and years. It may never result in the dream you had, but it certainly increases your chances of seeing it come to fruition. At the very least, in the end, even if you are unsuccessful, you will know that you have not spared even an ounce of effort. © ejs5494
