Giving children a moral lesson

From an armchair on the back porch in a California home, this story was about Mr.Hieu and a lesson, giving to his daughter. It began many years back with a father’s dream to provide better opportunities for his daughter and other family members. As a father, Mr. Hieu Le’s goal in life was to work hard and provide a decent education and career path for his two children. Achieving this dream was an uphill task, considering the fact that he did not necessarily hail from a fortunate background. For this reason, he struggled significantly during his life both before and after his children were born. From the stories he usually told, his struggle must have been harder after the birth of his children; the significant factor being that Mr. Hieu Le was unemployed at the time. Even after he managed to find a job, the wages were not particularly attractive. Thus, to save money, he adopted a wide range of practices that remained a part of his family’s life, even when the economic situation improved. Beside that, morality was still a significantly huge component of his economic and overall decision.

When his daughter, Huong, was ten years old, this father had a job with great promise of fulfilling his financial desires. By his own admission, Mr. Hieu had worked for three years on this job and gained promotions he had not thought possible. During these three years, the family’s financial standing improved immensely. He managed to rent a slightly more expensive house, his family’s meals improved significantly and no longer had any trouble paying tuition for his children. Even from the perspective of his two children life had improved considerably.

Then, the situation came to a gradual halt after he came home one evening and announced his decision to resign from his job. Notably, the relatives and friends that had noticed improvement in the family’s quality of life as an outcome of the job tried to advise him to rethink his decision. Two of his bosses tried to force him to engage in corrupt activities and give him money after. Of course, he did not want to get engaged not because it was illegal, it was because he did not want to violate his principles, and to him, nothing was more important than having a strong moral code. Yes, this father needs money for his family but not dirty money.

The resignation was a critical moment in his relatively short stint at the company and indeed his family’s wellbeing. It facilitated a return to the old days of economic lack and placed his young family at significant risk. But, after all, he still resigned.

This revelation gave some insight into the approach he used to raise his children or engage in any activity. Walk the talk and act out your values, protect, and provide for your family. He always advised his children to work hard. Integrity resides in our heart and it is much more than what teachers, friends or other people believe about us. This lesson stucked and permeated in the lives of his children because they saw him work hard every day, educate himself, and help pay the bills.

Having heard this story, his children and his relatives can attest that they understand why he resigned the job. The revelation of the incident prompted his children to think of the example he has always given and renew the resolve to be the best person they can.

After thinking back on the example that was this wonderful father’s life, his children and some of the relatives realize that life is indeed not as easy as usually assumed. It comes with challenging responsibilities such as raising children. The challenge involves helping children navigate their way to purposeful adult existence. Achieving such an objective is an even more significant challenge in the modern era for several reasons. As a father, he encourages his children to take some lessons from his decision to keep his integrity and lose his job.

Regardless of one’s financial or material standing, life is complicated and rife with challenges. However, the process of navigating these challenges should follow a decent and morally upright trajectory. Mr. Hieu opted to keep his integrity at the expense of his economic and class status. This decision may be attributable to various factors. The logic is that he remembered that integrity was vital in getting the job in the first place. This virtue had already helped him navigate the challenges of an economically crippled background. He knew that integrity and ethics were the only things he could not afford to lose in the midst of all the challenges. They were of greater significance than any job.
