When did you last say "I love you" to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18.
Generally compared to a mother's gentle love, a father represents (代表 ) qualities like independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure
Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.
For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. "Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability ofleading and cooperating（合作）," Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.
US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. "You don't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick（砖） every day. And soon you have a wall," he said on TV show Charlie Rose（《查理。罗斯访谈录》）.
"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters," British poet George Herbert (1593-1632)once said. Do you agree?
