Two families

Once there were two families. The parents of one family were strict and scolded their children for not studying the whole day. They neither let their children go out to play nor did they go for any picnic in the holidays. On the other hand there was another family who was quite opposite. Instead of scolding their children, they made them realize the importance of studies in their life. Also they maintained a daily routine to play outdoor games and planned family visits to various places during their summer and winter vacations. This is how the children in both families grew up. In the former family the children did not have fun at all and they were always haunted to get marks. Thus it was their achievements that bind them with their parents whereas in the latter family,the children were emotionally connected with their parents. Instead, of scolding their parents guided them which made them to recognize and realize their mistakes and they corrected it. In the formor it was all about winning and losing while in the latter,it was all about love and compassion. In the former, the children realised that they could become more likable to their parents only if they achieve something. On the other hand the latter family,both the parents and children had mutual importance. They taught not only to achieve but also to implement it for the benefit of others. Days past by,  children grew up and parents grew old. The children of the latter family still stayed along with their parents and helped them with their daily chores and planned visit to various places and enjoyed together with their parents. The children of the former family was in abroad and sended money drafts each month to their parents and they didn’t come home for any festivals because they were busy all the time. The latter family lived happily and the former family realized their mistake.
