Question

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling , but I always knew he was special. He never us, but used praise to our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them , they die.” I remember as a child I said unkind about somebody, and my father said, “ time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best . From then on I’ve always tried to follow the in my life and later in running my company.

Dad’s always been very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice：stay in school or leave to my magazine.

I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway（使动摇） me from my decision, any good father would. When he I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve always it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t my dream. You know you want. Go fulfill it.”

As it , my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them in the same way Dad raise me.
