HAPPY FATHERS DAY- (lessons from mine to me) by Hlaapi

Happy Fathers Day to all Fathers.

I would like to believe this is the most rewarding perennial day as a father.
Having the opportunity to look at your Kids and shed a tear of joy and fulfillment.

I was fortunate enough to have a good father in my life who was there everyday and did all he could to ensure i had the Best opportunity at anything and everything this world has to offer.

As the oldest in our Family i was held to a higher Standard than any of the other siblings, Unfortunately i didn't understand why till i had matured mentally.

I came to understand he was grooming me to be a Father at some stage of my life.
Woman shouldn't be left to raise Boys into Men,

He taught me how to be rational and think before acting,
Looking for solutions before worrying about the problem,
He taught me to value family more than any other thing in the world,
I learnt to value the growth of our community more than any of my personal achievements,
Knowing that everyday you make a decision that can change the path which your walking on towards prosperity.
Knowing God will lead you the right way every time.
Knowing no person accomplishment will make you a man,
Every conflict you encounter has a bigger picture designed by the way you react to that conflict.
Learning to let love and loved ones go on to make mistakes instead of having your hand on their shoulder every time.
Helping others and your friends become better people in turn makes you a better person.
Self worth should be measured by the wrinkles from laughter you have on your face.
Most importantly i learnt to use failure as a tool to propel towards success.



The roll of a Father in any Child's life is Critical underestimated.
Woman need Present active Fathers more than anything else.

Whether good or Bad your still a Father and one day your number will be called from the Bench to make a critical play that can shape your child's life.

I have the luck of having friends that are VERY Very good fathers.
I wouldn't be friends with any man who neglects his children as thou they don't exist.

I am who i am today all because my father was active in shaping my life on a day to day bases,
