What do you think is the most valuable lesson you learn from your parents? Or just the one that first comes to mind?

Preferably a positive lesson. I just want a positive question about parents to even things out here.

From my mom: There's more to life than being a productive member of society or just fitting in with the cultural norms in general, and having a different life than others doesnt make you less of a person.

From my dad: To focus on myself, and that negative feelings are not the same thing as negative thoughts.

Never lie. When you lie, you become nothing. Your word means nothing, your credibility is nothing.

You can't ever be trusted as you default to lying.
Tell the truth even if you are to be seen in a bad light, because anything is worse than losing your name.

And liars have no name. They are nothing. They are laughed at and pitied behind their backs and they end up just lying to themselves as those around them have already written them off completely.
