Son, husband, father

I have 3 goals in my life, be a good son, be a good husband, and be a good father.

Seems that in China it's been traditionally highlighted in chinese culture showing respect to parents. Father is always right, when he says yes, you can't say no. Father is harsh, when he asks you to study you can't play, and he never asks you to play. So that's what it's used to be in the old days. Things have been greatly changed in the modern age, but to the bone of a chinese, father is an unchallenged polar in a family. So is that a good son who is always in line with a father, always walking in the shadow of his father? My first goal seems plausible now.

Being a good husband seems easier, for you are just responsible for one person -- your wife. However, the problem is you will still have illusions of love when meeting a pretty girl or a sexy  woman, unlike that you are not likely to have the illusion having someone rich and kind as your parent. So to be a good husband firstly is to be loyal to your wife, never cheat on her, and sometimes have to make up a story to please her. That's it? No, you gotta be as rich as she expects you to be, with handsome income, a big house, a car... Well, it would be perfect to make time eating out with her regularly, going travel home and abroad at least twice a year...

What about good father. Well, it seems the easiest one to achieve. With the experience of being a child, he knows better what a good father is supposed to act....

Being a son, a husband, a father is just 3 different stage of a man. Without the first two phases, where comes the third ?

Men are not easy to be, either.
