My mother is cool—much cooler than most people. I give her full credit for (把…归功于) making me the person who I am today.
Being hopeful is the key to turning things around.
No matter how hard things got, my mom could always joke about them. It has taught me things are never, ever, end-of-the-world kind of bad. I'm sure this has made me a more relaxed person.
My mother made her own clothes she felt like wearing. Soon enough, people asked her to make clothes, and it turned into a full time business. That shows me how you can set up your own business by expressing yourself truthfully.
Imagination has no end.
As a person full of creativity, my mother always encouraged us to do imaginative things for enjoyment and discouraged TV. We dressed up in costumes, drew pictures, and sang at the top of our lungs.
Independence is important.
My mom has always pushed me towards becoming independent. Not for her good, but for mine. Because of this, I grow up to be completely independent.
Mistakes are OK as long as you learn from them.
Growing up, I've made my fair share of mistakes. Instead of saying "l told you so", my mom always let me work things out myself.
For all that you've done and everything that you are—thank you, Mom!
