Stories about helping others at all times and in all countries.
Margaret Thatcher's father Roberts is a grocer in the small town of Glen Vinson, England. On Margaret's fifth birthday, her father called her to him and said earnestly, "Remember, son-you must have your own opinion on everything, use your own brain to judge whether things are right or wrong, and never follow others." This is the life motto that Dad gave you, and it is the most important birthday present that Dad gave you! Since then, Roberts has deliberately trained her daughter to be a strong and independent child, and made up her mind to shape her independent personality of "preciseness, accuracy, attention to detail and strict distinction between right and wrong". With her father as a "life mentor", Margaret grew steadily.

Margaret was surprised to find that her classmates' lives were freer and richer than her own, and the world outside of work, study and worship was so vast and colorful. They play together in the street. They can play games and ride bicycles. On Sunday, they went for a picnic on the hillside full of spring, and everything was so tempting. Young Margaret is ticklish. She dreams of having a chance to play freely with her classmates. One day, she came home and got up the courage to say to her majestic father, "Dad, I want to play, too." Roberts' face fell and said, "You must have your own opinion! Just because your friend is doing something doesn't mean you have to go. You have to decide for yourself what to do, don't go with the flow. " Seeing that the child didn't talk, Roberts softened his tone and continued to persuade Margaret: "Son, it's not dad who limits your freedom. But you should have your own judgment and your own thoughts. Now is a good time for you to learn knowledge. If you want to indulge in amusement like the average person, you will certainly accomplish nothing. I believe you have your own judgment. Make your own decisions. " After listening to her father's words, little Margaret was no longer silent. Her father's words were deeply imprinted on her mind, and she thought, "Yes, why should I learn from others?" ? I have many things to do myself. I haven't finished reading the book I just bought. "

Roberts often educates his daughter in this way, asking her to have her own opinions and ideals. Independence and uniqueness can best show a person's personality. Going with the flow can only drown out the glory of personality in all beings.
