My parents were academics, but because in their time, their family was in the countryside, very poor and could not afford to study, they eventually had to drop out of school and had to become farmers.
My memory is that they never liked to praise my sister and me, in their view, learning is very simple, so at all times a posture of milli attention to our learning.
When we were focused on our studies, my father would always tell us some legends about his study days, he made very successful presentations, was eventually called to talk in front of the school leaders, the results of the mid-term exams in our area to get the top, but in the end it was only to be unhappy with the study, sad to the extreme.
So there will still be persuade us to study well. We don't lack the opportunity to study now, but we lack the drive of my father's study days, so naturally it seems very fatiguing.
In my father's opinion, he praised me and my sister will seem very interesting, he will not directly praise me and my sister's small success, but to praise their own good genes, in fact, which appears to be my father's expectations of us, in fact, in the study of this matter, he is still very supportive.
