Yet at the same time not imposing on us, but more as who has an experience and in giving his children advice. Then it's really been up to us if we have had to listen to him earlier on or we you know had his course at the back of our mind, he has still gone through what we have gone through in our life because sometimes we need to go through our own learning perks and then reflect back and say oh! yeah, dad was right. So it's either way, but it depends on the situation.
