Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 611: Nature

Tian Wen said: "Although it is indeed much easier for me to learn flexibility than you, it was much more difficult for me to cultivate ambition when I was a child. When I was very young, I felt that I had no desire for achievement by nature, and I even hated ambition. I am willing to be with people who are outstanding, but I don't like to show off. Our father does not have much desire for achievement in other aspects. He knows very well that the happiness he needs most in his life comes from our family. This is the nature of father. He said that he knew that mother was eager to fully display her talents and achieve success by nature, so he did his best to meet mother's inner needs to become stronger and make mother happy by fully utilizing her talents. He also tried his best to teach the two of us to be highly skilled and promote harmony among the family. Dad himself obviously does not have much ambition, but he believes that the two of us must have very strong ambition. You are born with a strong ambition, and it is much easier for you to meet Dad's requirements than me! When I was a child, I was also very uncomfortable and would rather die than live when I cultivated ambition."

Jian Rou said: "It can be seen from this that changing one's innate personality is not only difficult, but also painful."

Tian Wen said, "Yes, but our parents asked us to be people who have strong ambitions but are also good at using flexible methods to deal with people. We have been on the road to change since we were young. Now we are indeed different from when we were young. The difference between you and me in personality is not as big as when we were very young."

Jian Rou seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother, tell me, are we being educated or distorted?"

Tian Wen was stunned when he heard this.

"You and I now have both gone against our innate personalities to a certain extent," Jian Rou said.

Tian Wen thought for a moment and said, "Yes, our parents shaped our personalities so that we can easily gain more power in Tiecang Ting when we grow up. We will do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. Whether we have been educated or distorted, it is obvious that we have become more likely to achieve our goals. Maybe sometimes education itself is distorted."

Jian Rou said: "If the goal is not achieved in the end, but people become distorted in order to achieve it, is it worth it?"

"What? Are you questioning something?" Tian Wen asked.

Jian Rou said, "Do you remember the last time Mom and Dad talked about their nature in front of the two of us?"

Tian Wen said: "Of course I remember."

Jian Rou said, "They have never been deliberately shaped in a direction contrary to their nature. Listening to what they say, you will know that mom and dad generally live according to their nature. Mom is now a very successful person, and dad also enjoys the atmosphere of home. They are all living the life they want. When mom talks to me, she always says thank you to dad for giving so much to the family, and dad also thanks mom. Like them, they have never experienced the pain of being shaped. Isn't it good?"

Tian Wen said: "Mom and Dad's childhood lives were different from ours, so it's hard to compare them."

Jian Rou said, "Yes, I was just thinking about it, not about the person. I can't thank my mother and father enough. They have always been so good to us, and the relationship between our family is so harmonious. It's great."

Tian Wen said, "Well, we don't need to think so much." Then he smiled and asked, "Do you think mom and dad have finished talking now?"
