There comes a time of testing in a man’s life. A time when his dreams lie still. His arms and legs are weak and his mind is exhausted from the field of battle that is life. It is in that time, that he draws courage and strength from his heart. It matters not how hard life hits him or how many hits he can take but it is the strength and conviction of his heart that will define his victory.
A successful father is one whom instills such courage into his son's heart. No matter what the cost, his son will never give up on the strength he draws from his father’s actions. His son will never fall, never retreat and never accept defeat. Inch by inch, he will move forward because he is inspired to do so through the image that is his father. He accepts that nothing is impossible as the very blood that pours though his veins has conquered that which his son is trying to conquer. A successful father's son takes pride in his actions as a reflection upon his family because he honors what he has been taught. His son adopts courage in the shadow of adversity and measures his attitude against the benchmark set by his father. He approaches every situation fighting to maintain a precedent that not only improves him but improves the lives of those he loves. No matter how wayward his son's path becomes, he shall always return to the principle set in place by his father.
This is the token of a successful father - A token of my own father.
