The title of “Father” can only be earned by those who have taken on sufficient responsibility and accountability.
Some men, even after having children, remain irresponsible and carefree. They offer no protection or care for their family, live chaotic personal lives with zero self-discipline, and spend their days venting their anger and insecurities on the most vulnerable people in their household.
I’m sorry — men like this do not qualify as fathers.
A true father shields his wife and children from life’s storms, builds the family’s fortunes, points the way forward, leads by example, and gives them unwavering protection and love.
You don’t have to be successful — but you must keep a clear head, maintain an upward-striving spirit, and never let the people who love you down.
That is what it means to be a father.
Today is Father’s Day. If you are a man, I — Master Chi — hope you become the latter. If you are a woman or a child, I — Master Chi — hope you have the latter.
