MOTHER'S ADVICE

 

Sometimes my mother gives me advice. She tells me to save my money for a rainy day. She says that I should eat my vegetables if I want to be strong when I grow up. She says that you reap what you sow. I didn’t understand what that one meant. I asked my mother, she said, if you are good to people, they will be good to you. If you do bad things, the bad things will come back to you. My mother is always giving me good advice. She says that a penny saved is a penny earned. I am still thinking about that one. Some of these things are difficult to understand.

My mother is very nice. She says that she learned from her mistakes. She tells me that she would like me not to make mistakes. But she says that everyone does make mistakes. The important things is that we learn from our mistakes. My mother says that nobody is perfect. My mother tells my sister that time is precious. My sister wastes time and my mother doesn’t like that. My mother tells me to be true to myself. She says that I should not follow the crowd. I should listen to my own conscience and do what I think is right.

She says that it doesn’t matter if you fail at something, the important thing is that you try. If you have done your best, then that is all that matters. I listen to my mother; I think she gives very good advice. She has a lot of common sense. I hope I am as wise as she is when I have children of my own. Sometimes I wish that she would not give me so much advice. I think that I know what I am doing. But in the end, I always remember what she has said. I try to live by the standards that she has set for me. Take the advice that your parents give you. They only have your best interest at heart.
