My dad is a kind，gentle man，and a man of few words．Throughout my life，he offered advice rarely．But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing．
As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me，he said， "All things are relative．" He taught me the right view of the world．When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student，I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company．His advice was simple， "Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better；management isn't about power and it's about leadership．" I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability．When I was feeling down，he explained， "Think that you make the wrong choices in life，sometimes．"
My dad is 86 now，living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings．He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life．Although we live quite far away from each other，we talk daily on the phone，and he shares the joys of my young family．As I tell him how we're heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis，now his typical response is， "Do it while you can．" This is very important．We can't be sure of the future．My father's advice is like the ancient dictum（格言）of " carpe diem"- seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest．
My dad rarely "lectured me"．He trusted me，and helped me when I needed help．His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life．As I doubt my ability and my motivation，I recall his most recent gift of wisdom， "Do it while you can"． It's enough to "just get me started"．
