Different aspect

As you know, we may sometimes get annoyed and impatient as somebody does or says something we don't like. However, as a matter of fact, our subjective consciousness disturbs us to make the right decision. For this reason, we tend to feel angry at someone who is standing in counter shoes of mine. Nevertheless, as we rethink it from different standpoints and be objective on it, then we can clearly understand the authentic meaning behind it.
As for me, I remembered that once I was asked by my parents to give way to my siblings. Originally, I thought my parents treated us unfairly; therefore, I became obstinate and mischievous in order to catch their attention. However, on the contrary, the situation didn't come better and even worse. Eventually, my parents talked earnestly to me. Then I learned what their intention is: to let me learn how to give the percedence out of courtesy. And this trait is quite vital in the future days. I wanna thank my parents' teaching. Without them, I might lose myself and can't behave myself nowadays.

  1. It’s quite true that sometimes we are just too subjective to make right decisions. When we were children, we refused to listen to parents’ advices or got mad at what they did just because we didn’t like those things. We was unable to judge if they were right or consider carefully if the things they’d done were good for us. But later on we would usually discover the good intentions behind their acts and start to regret when it was too late. Take me as an example: some time when I was in elementary school, my mom forced to me start the piano lesson and do the practice every day, but since I was so reluctant and deliberately behaved badly in class, I was allowed to quite the lesson a month later. However, when in junior high, I developed a strong interest in music, and it was at that time that I discovered I should have learn to play certain instrument to get further into the world of music.
    Although we are young adults now, sometimes we still find our parents’ words annoying or against our own thoughts. But unlike when they bid the same statement they used to say when we were children “I’m doing this for you!”, now we are equipped with so-called “critical thinking”; we’re able to identify what’s good for us and what’s bad for us. After all, our parents are not us; only we know best what we should do and who we should be. Moreover, now that we’ve come of age, we must have been able to be both legally and mentally responsible for our own decisions. If we made it right, it’s us that deserve praise; if we made it wrong, it’s us that should be blame.

  2. Although the acts our parents do for us may not be right sometimes, there is no denied that their motivations are positive. Sometimes, I feel quite joyful as I understand my parents are really caring for me. They give me the courage to meet the upcoming challenges and frustrations. As time goes by, I gradually realize to tolerate with parents’ toil.
