It's no secret that we have bee molded by our parents to become the people we are today, our morals, beliefs and discipline for our own children. We learn our manners, social norms and life lessons from them. I have definitely picked up life lessons from my parents, but the most significant thing I've learned from my parents is how I don't want to go about doing things, the type of person I don't want to be and the type of life I don't want to live.
I also don't tell my parents when something goes wrong in my life. I only share my triumphs and happiness with them, because to have them think that I need them would be the greatest disappointment for me.
