I totally agree with her on what she told her children.
ReplyDelete"Be themselves" can let children find what they really good at and have motivation to develop themselves. It is better than hundreds of teachers to them what they should like.
Although people like to follow trends, but I think it is important to teach my children to be themselves. To be themselves base on they know what are doing and keep doing "right" things. I think that is a tricky question, how to choose between insist or stubborn. Sometimes you might need to doing what you think is right; on the other hand, sometimes you shouldn't just think about yourself. Randy Lin
ReplyDeleteI agree that the most important thing to teach our children is to be they're true self and never be fake to other people. This is super important because if we don't teach our children to be themselves they will not have their own personality and they will easily become like the people that surround them, they have to know who they are and never ever change because of the others. They have to follow they're dreams, do what they want, and be who they are in the inside. Johnson was always herself, she never pretend to be something else. She was truly original and because of her way to be she got really far away, she never hide her personality because it may seem weird to other people, she didn't care and that's how she found her husband and got an amazing career.

This article is about a woman who is a driver trucks. i believe that is important to teach children to be themselves, but also I think that it is important to help children that they can be themselves if they do not hurt other people. I think is it important that children can do many things but in the appropriated way. If be them selves is wrong in some way, I believe that it is most important to teach them how to be good person.

ReplyDeleteThis article talked that woman who is a mom, a wife, and a monster truck driver. she was really interested a car, so she always wanted to drive her friends cars. her father was mechanic.her husband also drive a motor rock crawling.In addition, they are successful and established a reputation for Johnson Motorsports. but I think they did not stay and spend time for their children. it is a failure. I think a motor and driving is important but family and children is more important than their job.
ReplyDeleteI think it is very important for parents to teach children to be themselves because knowing themselves and being themselves make people happy. Instead of forcing children to be someone they don't like, parents should help children to be themselves, so that children will be happy and mentally healthy. For instance, I was so depress when I was 16~ 19 years old. I felt helpless, and I did not know what I want to do. My parents and other family members gave me pressure instead of helping me. My parents tried to talk me out from what I like. Two years ago, I moved out and became independent. I started to know myself and learn what I like. I finally became happy. It is so important for parents to help children to know and be themselves. I wished my family did it for me.
ReplyDeleteThis article talked about one woman who graduated at the BYU really love to drive vihicles. The woman has loved cars since we was young. One day someone asked her to participate rock crawling competition. As a result, she was won eventhough she praticed to drive the car only two days. At that time, she wanted to break old stereotype about whole thing in her life through own competitions.
