I realise that I did not write a Father's Day post this year like I did last year. However, today, I saw in The Star an article that goes "What My Father Taught Me". I did not read the article in the newspaper so am going to interpret it as I know it.
Here, I will attempt to list out what my father taught me. I mean the values he imparted and not things like teaching me to ride a bike, swim or drive.
If you have read my post last year, you would know that I have a bittersweet relationship with my father. I absolutely suffocate under his stubborn narrow minded mentality but he is my father nonetheless and I know he tries his best to do good by us.
My father has taught me (in random order):
1. to marry the man who loves me and not the man I love
2. to value life
3. to depend on myself
4. to have self-respect
5. to help others when they need it
6. to control my emotions
7. to plan my own destiny
8. to learn from other people's mistakes
9. that there are many things that can be done without money
10. never say die
My father is somebody special but I hardly understand him.

I enjoyed this post. Do we ever understand men? Do men understand us?
Hi CyberCelt,
Thanks for dropping by and commenting! Much appreciated! :-)
Men, can't live with them, can't live without them!
Hi Anonymous thanks for your visit and comment on Wierd happenings! Yes I am not too bothered by all these ranking stuff anyway but just curious! visited your cyberpartygal store but found the links for men, women not functioning! Wish you every success! About What you learnt from your Dad are good values to live by! Cheers!
Hi Bokjae,
Thanks for your visit. My dad's a very very tough man to please that's why there's friction between us because he forces me to live by his own set of rules even though I am an adult myself.
By the way, all the links at the Store are working. I am sorry they are not working for you. I don't know why :(
