If you have ever read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" you will know that Robert Kiyosaki is lucky enough to have 2 fatherly figure. This allow him to compare and contrast how this 2 person think, which in turn affect their physical result.
I feel that I am luckier as I have 3 fatherly figure in my life who teach me how to be a better person.
My first fatherly figure is my biological father. He is the most hardworking man I have ever seen, he often work up to 80 hours a week just so he could provide a better life for our family. He is not rich but he does his best. He show me that a person can make it through life with hard work and respect for other people. His guidance have help me secure many sincere friendship and respect from fellow colleagues.
My second fatherly figure is my father-in-law. He is a photography enthusiast, he often show me pictures he have taken and the thought process before he press the shutter. A humble man with a big heart to share, he thought me the importance of passion and how having something you are passionate about can help you live a happier life.
My third fatherly figure is my mentor. He may not be as successful as the entrepreneur seen in publication, but his perseverance have allowed him to live an above average lifestyle. He pulled me up when my business is in the red and shared his valuable experience so I can apply them to my business.
Although this 3 men lead very different life, their lesson is fairly similar. They all encourage hard work, passion and happiness. I am thankful to have them in my life, for it is their guidance that gave me hope for a better tomorrow.
I strive to provide the same guidance for both my children.
