Recognizing Good Advice
IllustrationStory★★★★While sorting through “treasured” stuff her daughter Elizabeth had accumulated over the years, a mother came across a questionnaire Elizabeth had filled out while completing her master’s degree. In response to the question, “What was the most important advice you received from your mother?” Elizabeth had written, “Always rely on your own good judgment.” And to “What was the most important advice you received from your father?” Elizabeth answered, “Ask your mother.”
The point
A mother finds her daughter's answer that her mother's best advice was 'always rely on your own judgment' and father's answer was 'ask your mother.' A humorous picture of complementary wisdom.
