My mother always taught me to think about things from other people's perspectives and think about where they're coming from.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents encouraged thought. You'll get through life better if you learn how to think.
I tend to navigate by indirection, meaning that most of the major things in my life have happened when I've been thinking about something else.
When I was young I used to listen to other people and to try and understand what they thought and where they were coming from. I listened and didn't speak.
Whenever I feel I am going through my own 'little' challenging moment, I just think about my mom.
Adults sometimes think children don't think. That's what propels them to order children around. But children do integrate thoughts and make sense of them. When I was a child, I thought about everything in the universe.
My mother taught me caring and sensitivity towards the feelings of others, animals as well as humans. She gave me much good, practical advice for getting through life.
My worldview comes from a collection of the books I have read, the people I have met, and my conversations with my dad.
When I was a kid, I never thought about anything. Never had to think about where I was going to school or what I was going to do. I just lived minute to minute.
My father raised me to think independently and follow my own path in life.
My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.
