Transient Dreams

Question of the Week

• What are the most important things you learned from your father?
  Most of the things I learned from my father fall on my “what not to do” list. First and foremost, never drink more than you can handle. If you don’t want to drink and friends try to make you drink, DON’T give in. Becoming an alcoholic does not only hurt your family and friends, it hurts your own self more. Second, don’t take your family for granted because in the end, they’re all you have. They’re the only ones who will stand by you when everything falls apart so treat them well. Lastly, don’t buy things you can’t afford. Buy what you need rather than what you want. And DON’T buy or order things before you have your paycheck in your hands. There are a lot more things I can add to this list but I prefer not to dwell on it. If I can, I want to preserve the good memories I have of my dad especially now that I live so far away from him.
