Quote of the day

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings.”

-Hodding Carter

The two things that parents can give their children are a sturdy foundation and a guiding push to help them take off. Without roots, a child's future might be loose and topple down like a tree with no roots. Without wings, a child might stay planted on the firm soil and never take off into out of his comfort zone. Where would he be then? A weak life in the comfort zone would be like living chained to a comfortable bed in a dark room your whole life. The roots and wings given to us by our parents have guided our lives to be what they are today.
