Father and son I have read a sentence in a book by a Chinese writer. The first half of life of a man is the shadow of his father, however, in the latter half of life, his father becomes his shadow. (Due to the limitation of my English ability, I may made a lot of mistakes and bad English in this essay, you can change the sentence for making it more logical, I am going to post it here after every time revising until it sounds very smooth ). That is proved by my experience. My grandfather told me that, father is a superman at your five years old. when u grown-up a little, then father is a powerful man. And in your teen age, he seems not as powerful as before. Since you totally grown up, you will find out father is just a common people. I could not agree it anymore because I did experience it myself. When I was a 5-years old boy, he could do everything in my eyes, he can buy whatever he wants. he could beat me, if I refused to follow his command. And he even can fix every broken thing in this world, many friends and neighbors came to ask him for helping with fixing things. It was my dream at that age, to be a powerful man like him. Several years later, I found that not very broken thing can be fixed well by my father, such as the virus computer. However, he still was the smartest person that I had known. Because he always knew what was the right decision for every time. However, everything is changing in this world, not to mention my thoughts about my father. During my teen years, I thought that he was right most of the time, but obviously not for every time. Since I wanted to study computer science, however, my father said no and he had another thought. Although it caused some arguments between us during that time and I finally gave up, now it no longer bothers me. Now, I can work to support my life and I am thoroughly independent from my father. I also have my own family include a naughty son. I guess I am the superman for my under two years old boy, though I didn`t and will never beat him. I begin to think. He is going to grown-up. He will find out I am just a common people who is not only don`t know right choice for everything, but also often make some stupid mistakes. How do I want my son to treat me during that time? Do I want to get his patience and understanding? Yes, I will. Like my father who is waiting now. (thanks for helping me revise it)
