My father often told me that life is not based upon convenience. If you're not willing to work hard and sacrifice for the things and the people that mean the most to you, you're not ready to make the most out of your life.
This is a simple question, and I ask that you give a load of thought before responding. So, to the Guild: what are some of the best things you've ever learned from your parents?

Well my mom taught me to be a strong woman, and to stand up for myself. My mom helps battered women by giving them a home so she can help them get back on there feet; so like a shelter. I guess it’s sort of cheesy, but I don't know I always have this strong justice for women’s rights. I have a lot of knowledge on the subject I guess, so she helped me want to make the world better by trying to show people that men and women are equal.

Once when I was younger, I cut my own hair and my relatives questioned what had happened during a party. My parents humiliated me by forcing me to explain to them what I did, and that sort of treatment made me honest. (Just a bit introverted too, but that's not so bad.) I also spoke back to my father once when I was in second grade, and the backtalk had an f-bomb not-so-discreetly laid into it. He smacked me across the face and told me to "say that again", and I got scared so I refused. He told me he would hit me again if I didn't say it again, but I still didn't. He never hit me. Now I always watch what I say. They are little things, but they are still important to my daily life. They made me responsible and I would be nothing if I didn't know how to own up to the things I did.

Laugh, it's good for you.
They don't agree? ******** do what you think is right.
Always
Be
Questioning
If they laugh at you, laugh with them; getting angry only encourages them.
Learn to laugh at yourself.
My parents are a big reason why I have the sense of humor I do, my entire family is filled with sarcastic assholes and if you can't brush it off or insult them back they will eat you alive.

I can totally relate to everything you said there. My father has taught me that life becomes more bearable if not enjoyable if you can just laugh at some small and petty things.

Four of the things my parents taught me...
#1. Live life the way you want to, not the way somebody tells you.
#2. Never be afraid to ask a question.
#3. Sometimes it is better to leap before you look.
#4. Don't be afraid of someone who is bigger then you; you're probably smarter then they are.

To be honest, I don't think I've learned anything that important from my parents. I was always self-taught.

Something my great grandmother actually said to my mom when she was a child;
Nobody is better than you or anyone else and if they think they are then you better kick their a**.
きっと大人になることなんかより 大切なものがあるの
きっとそれを見つけらんないまま 大人になってゆくんだ
子どものままじゃいれない。

If I could say that my parents have taught me anything in life, its how to be a much better person. And by this I mean how not to live my life. My father left before I was born, my mother dosent stand up for herself, and my step-father is a... theres not enough words to describe what he is.

My parents never directly taught me much beyond basic morals and such, but here's my favorite thing they taught me:
You excel as long as it's your best. If you do your best, you truly succed, no matter what the result is.
And here are some things I taught myself:
"The harder you fall, the better you'll feel when you finally get back up."
"Reality is real, whether you're ready to acknowledge it or not."
"Be like a candle in a world of lightbulbs. Be different."
"Never reveal your true thoughts, and you'll remain a constant mystery."
"When all else fails, laugh it off like an idiot."

My parents taught me to love books and literature, they encouraged me to read for the love of reading and to read for the love of learning something new.
My dad taught me that there are times when it is best to sit back and wait.
My mum taught me there are times when rushing in head first just as good.
There are also things I saw my parents do that I didn't agree with, so in an indirect way they have taught me to not smoke and to not take people for granted, in this they have taught me to make decisions for myself and to always think for myself.
