Growing up - No Formula
When i look at my little girl - soon turning into a little woman - I get a bit worried - where is the time flying? And how do I tell her in a nice and smart way that the grown ups and the adults have no big book with the formula? I still suffer from the idea that I need to find that book/list….
What? There is no such book? *AAAAAAAAARGH*

What about “the book of five rings” from Myamoto Musashi, and the “Tao Te King” from Lao Tzeu?
PS: Hum.. 2 books?

A metaphor, perhaps, for the relationship between venture capitalists and their developing companies?

I suppose how we feel about others and ourselves is grounded in ‘respect’ - whether we have been respected, and how we have been treated generally.
In UK we tend to treat children as second class citizens and then when they reach 16/18 we expect them to magically turn into responsible adults.
Sadly our education curriculum focuses on core subjects of Maths, Science and English - nowhere do we address parenting - who taught you to parent?
It is scarey, and, as parents, we present the role models that our children will follow - you can see this reflected in our societies.
On a positive note, you seem to take great joy in your family and have an acute awareness of the developmental changes - so your children will grow into well-adjusted adults. They may cause you a few headaches on the way, but nothing worth having is achieved easily.
