If you can recall every day, we are told about the great many things we cannot do, rather than what we can do ..
I remember my parents used to ensure that i do not get into trouble or do something that can hurt me .. they were so protective
When i wanted to be vertinarian ... they said, no the business is not good for this job ...
When i wanted to start my own business ... they said, how if you were not successful?? get yourself a permanent job
Later I understood why ... "as part of the challenges of parenthood is to ensure that they make their children move safely in the world without being hurt or burned"
But I was so protected that it was so diffucult for me to be independent.
Can we be give more positive outlook on things ...
cheers

I wish more people would be positive and take chances. This is our one shot at life and we should intend be more positive and follow our dreams in an attempt at becoming happy. I have leanrt this lesson very recently...Becoming diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and suffering some terrible symptoms everyone around me told me all the things I couldnt do now. I have not listened to them and remained as positive as I can. My positivity has been the secret to getting physically better, finding my perfect partner and enjoying every moment I have. Life can be hard but life goes on and people should take chances and follow their dreams!

I consider myself as lucky in this aspect, because I was not discouraged from doing things that most children of my age were prevented from. My mother had no real formal education, but she had wisdom.
For example I was never prevented from climbing up trees. On involving in acts which can be considered as dangerous, she gave a reminder to do it with care, to think of possible consequences. My father was a little bit more cautious, but not too protective.
The result of the upbringing is a person who is independent, and dare to take risks.
