> Maybe your mother is just frustrated about something totally unrelated--you never know.
I don't think so. She didn't seem frustrated. She's always like this. She never supports any of my cautious forays into the real world.
> As for your father--he must have some good and redeeming qualities--after all, she married him and had children.
I don't know if my Mom and Dad married because of love. I know they were set up with one another. It was a different time then in China, I don't know if people married for the same reasons as here and now in North America. My Mom really dislikes my Dad. It's good that my Dad doesn't get angry at my Mom and tolerates her nagging all the time. There is always lots of yelling from my Mom.
> As for you--you will never know if you can succeed unless you try-- and then, sometimes, you have to pick yourself off of the floor and try again and again. The thing is, "winners never quit and quitters never win."
That's a good motto to live by. I shouldn't have a defeatist attitude like what my Mom tries to instill in me.
Thanks Bobby
