Everybody has something they want to brag about, but they naturally force themselves to remain humble. Here's a thread that you can brag in. I'm a really good parallel parker. Maybe top 5% out there. I've got compliments from random people walking by. Even a round of applause from a car full of drunks. I think it even turns girls on sometimes. What do you have to brag about?
I guess the one thing I'd brag about would be the length of my.... ...list of things to brag about. barfo
I'm proud of myself for, at 40 years old, deciding to go back to school to change careers and do something totally out of my wheelhouse because over the long run I think I'll be happier in life. It means two years minimum of being broke and confused, but a life of beauty, hard work and creation at the end.
Im a step dad of two teenagers and its really tough to take care of and provide for kids who long for their real dads attention no matter what kind of asshole he is. Im pretty good at step parenting and Ive made a huge difference in both of their lives, but they will probably never know the sacrifice's Ive made in my life for them and I will probably never get a fathers day call.
You are an inspiration to others by your actions. Do not underrate your efforts. Kids do eventually "get it", or most of them do. There is nothing like seeing your child follow in some of the difficult and sacrificial decisions and behavior. When they recognize that they have modeled actions based upon what you have taught or shown them, you will realize your true reward.
