Don’t misunderstand. I am not suggesting that you go through the newspaper or the neighborhood, selecting the husband you believe would be appropriate for your daughter. But I would like to point out that you do help your daughter select her future husband. The process starts when your little girl is happily sitting on your knee or riding your back. The truth is, the first knowledge our daughters acquire about relationships with the opposite sex comes from their fathers. What you teach your daughter about how men treat women becomes the cornerstone of her expectations. If you treat your wife with courtesy and respect, your daughter will file that in her memory bank as the way she should be treated by her future husband.
When your daughter sees you loving her mother and treating her with respect, she comes to know that men should treat their wives that way. However, if your daughter sees you abuse her mother, she learns that’s the way men treat women and so she’s not surprised – thought she obviously doesn’t like it – if her husband abuses her. This is especially true if it happens in small steps during the courtship process and gradually gets worse once she is married.
One of the things most parents told their daughters was, “You’ve made a lifetime deal, but if he ever abuses you, you’ve got a home you can come to.” This communication to one of your daughters possibly helped her – and you – avoid a tragic mistake.
So, Dad, all this really says is that if you love your little girl, you will treat her and her mother with respect and dignity. If you do, chances are excellent your daughter will choose her husband wisely. In fact, he will probably be just like the guy old Dad would have chosen.

As we learn to think win-win, we seek mutual benefit in all our interactions. We start thinking in terms of other people, of society as a whole. It profoundly affects what we see as “important,” how we spend our time, our response in the moment of choice, an the results we get in our lives.

| You Are 24% Slacker |
 You have a few slacker tendencies, but overall you tend not to slack. You know how to relax when the time is right, but you aren't lazy! |

I Wish
I wish means: wouldn’t it be nice if…
If you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else.
Always wishing life was different.

It’s not because you are making the wrong decisions, it’s because you are making the right ones. We try to make sensible decisions based on the facts in front of us. The problem with making sensible decisions is that so is everyone else.

Almost immediately thereafter, a new trauma occurs in the baby giraffe’s life. As he struggles to his knees, Mama Giraffe gets busy “persuading” him to stand up. She does this as he wobbles to his feet by giving him a swift kick to prod him to faster action. No sooner does he reach his feet than Mama delivers a booming kick that knocks the baby giraffe back down.
Again, I can well imagine the baby giraffe thinking, “Well, make up your mind, Mom! First you kicked me to make me stand up. Then you kicked me back down!” Interestingly enough, once the baby giraffe is back on the ground, Mama Giraffe again starts kicking and nudging until he stands back up.
That process is repeated several times because Mama Giraffe loves her baby. Or is it instinct? Who can say with certainty? However, this we know for certain: Baby Giraffe is a prime delicacy for carnivorous animals, which are a part of his environment. Mama Giraffe knows that the only chance of survival for her baby is to be able to quickly get up and move out of harm’s way. Yes, kicking the baby up and down seems like a strange way to show love. But for a baby giraffe it is the ultimate expression of love. Caution: That approach definitely will not work in the “people” world, but the principle will. Real love is evidenced when you do what is best for the other person, whether or not they appreciate it at that moment.

The more involved you are, the more significant your learning will be.
