Father as Teacher and Counter-Example

“My father was an old-fashioned businessman. He was honest and valued friendship, trading only for the livelihood of the family, and could not be called an entrepreneur or operator. "Business is done in practice," are words of wisdom my father lovingly instilled in me. However, sometimes I couldn't quite agree with some of his practices. Therefore, my father was both my teacher and an example of what not to do. Nevertheless, there's no doubt my father had a great impact on me.”

“From a very young age, I was instilled with the idea that "whatever you do, you should do it the best". Perhaps because of this, I developed a conception in my mind that this was how fathers should discipline their sons. In my childhood, I rarely received any praise from my father, except for the occasional compliment when I was accepted to high school and university.”
