Parent's Philosophy

Mom’s Philosophy
My mom believes that in life you should be content. She believes that you cannot always be happy because of what may happen to you. She says that you can be content even when bad things that you cannot control happen to you, by having a positive attitude about it. She also believes that in order to be truly content, you have to be strong in your Christian faith. She believes that Jesus will transform your life so that you will be a content person. She believes that without Jesus, you are never content with your life because you want more money, fame, and glory. However, with Jesus you are never content with how much you are giving to others. She also believes that with hard work comes success. She says that in order to get any good result you have to pay time and effort. However, without hard work, everything is a dream and not reality.
Dad’s Philosophy
My dad’s philosophy is that in order to live a good life you need a good and healthy marriage. He says that no matter how rich or famous you are, if you are in a bad marriage, your life will be miserable. He also believes that everyone should have a couple good friends. My dad believes that those friends in the end will help you when you really need it. When my grandfather died back in Korea, all my dad had to do was call his friend living there to be with the family until he could find a flight there. Last but not least, my dad believes that Christianity is the answer to all of life’s problems. He, like my mom, believes that bad things will happen to you. Those who believe in Jesus will see the greater hope, but those who are not will see nothing but despair.
