My father and I have a daily written that going for a walk every night. Approximately five years ago we had gone for a walk as always. But this walking not just looked at others. I had several questions for my father so I asked. I said that I think about it and I realized that When people have goals, it isolates them. It isolates the person. Because you only focus on your goal and don’t do other things rather than doing things on your goal. So my father said that then you won’t have a goal. I said, but when I will do things, like what will I do in my life? And my dad said that you will be a samurai. Samurais don’t have goals. They have ways that lead them to success. And then I heard it, then my perspective changed. This discussion lead me to be the person who I am and it’s really impress me.

My father and I have a daily routine of going for a walk every night. Approximately five years ago, we went for a walk as always. But this walk was different; I had several questions for my father, so I asked him. I said that I had been thinking about it and realized that when people have goals, it isolates them. It isolates the person because you only focus on your goal and don't engage in other activities outside of pursuing that goal. My father responded that then you won't have a goal. I asked, but what will I do in my life? My dad said that you will be a samurai. Samurais don't have goals; they have ways that lead them to success. When I heard that, my perspective changed. This discussion led me to become the person I am today, and it really impressed me.
