Although your mother and I do want you to become great with all our hearts, that doesn’t mean we only want you to study, behave yourself, and be a perfect student, faultless in the eyes of your teachers and friends. Nor am I saying that in the future you should become a perfect adult, a person free of all criticism or blame. That is to say, of course good grades are good, and bad behavior will cause you trouble, and once you’re out in the world, I want you to lead an unimpeachable life, but still, those alone are not the fundamental things.
