I’ve learned to depend on God who is the most important person in my life. I’ve learned that no matter what life sets up for me I’m an over comer and through him all things are possible. Many people would often say: “That their mother or father, president, or pastor would bring them inspiration and would be most important in their life,” but I can truly say that at this point in my life God has my undivided attention and I am his number one
Protecting your children won't do them any good at all if they never learn to live on their own. Since you won't always be there to watch over them, they have to learn to take care of themselves, and you have to have the strength to let go, as painful as that might be. The father in The Road did everything he could for his son, selflessly and valiantly in the face of horrible circumstances, and by the end of the story has prepared his son, as well as he could, for whatever future awaits him. And that is what every father, even those of us in a dramatically more hospitable world than that of the book, should forever strive

And I was glad that Rabbi Eliahou should continue to look for his beloved son. And, in spite of myself, a prayer rose in my heart, to that God in whom I no longer believed.

Love is many things that you can describe a thousand different ways.
The moral values that they taught me I will always remember. My father is a humble man, and imparted onto me, through his example, that one should never be haughty and self-consumed. My mother guided me through life, dropping small but crucial pieces of advice here and there along the way, making sure that I would not go the wrong way. Now, even as I live separate from my father in this foreign land, his lessons still lead me through my days
The correlation between relationships and an individual’s sense of belonging can be clearly seen in the loving relationship between Romulus and his son Raimond. Both truly belong to each other through the unconditional bond of love between parent and child. The relationship also gives belonging to both through Raimond giving his father the strength to overcome constant tragedy as shown by the quotes “My son is everything to me." and “never say I don’t love you” and with Romulus doing everything in his power for his son to have a better life “he denied himself so I would have more”. The technique of anecdotes is used throughout the book to show how strong their love and sense of belonging to each other is such as how Raimond always feels safe and loved when riding with his father on their bike “Most of all, I remember his strong, bare, sun-darkened arms on either side of me as I sat on the petrol tank.” These anecdotes also allow the responder to connect more personally with the characters and their history and more fully understand their relationship.

The man also experiences a spiritual transformation as a result of his hardships. When a person experiences crisis in their lives they can turn to their spirituality.

He could easily become selfish and self centered given the circumstances, but he sticks with his ethics given the thinking that his reward will be greater in the longer
As we can see, Equiano became free with the help of self-reliance which is indispensable for those who also want to become free not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. You need this skill because there are occasions in life where you are alone; no one stands behind you and makes the choice instead of you. Christianity is also an important factor in Equiano’s life. As Martin writes in the critical reading ‘God helps those who help themselves’ (Martin, 257). Belief is a clambering for everyone just like for Equiano.
Never to be in debt, and never to be lazy is what he advises his readers to do and for himself. He stated that he will do the same. Everyone needs to help themselves by not being lazy and doing their work if they want to be successful. There will be enough time to sleep when a person is in the grave, but for now, everyone must work for their well-being. These colonists looked upon Benjamin Franklin as an idol and wanted any and all advice they could get from
Brian Mosby, my dear friend. This guy has been there for me when no one else could physically be there with and for me. He has taught me how to have a conversation despite my madness, anger and sadness. He has always encouraged me to do all that I can and want to do even when I feel like I cannot or do not want to. He expresses what is right even when I want to do my own thing; conveying the truth to me, even when I could care less to hear it and despite the fact that it will hurt half of the time.
