I was a farmer who had saved millions in business, was obsessed with building airplanes, and was ridiculed for not doing my job. You know, I've been in business for decades and I've finally saved some money, but I've always had a dream to build an airplane of my own.
It makes me sad because I know they're doing it for my good, but I just can't let go of this dream. I also know that I don't know anything about airplanes, but I love it very much, just like when I picked up a rare treasure when I was a child.
But I don't know what my family will think about doing so.
Until one day, I met a big name in the field of aircraft manufacturing by chance, and he told me that he had been researching a new type of aircraft engine for many years, but he had not been able to invest in the development because of financial problems.
I saw this as an opportunity and decided to work with him and invest some of the money I had saved in him to fund the research.
"Dad, how can you do this! With so much money, all of it has been earned through hard work, how can you use it to invest in projects that are so risky!" said my eldest son.
"Yes, your responsibility is to do business, to support your family, not to take money and take risks. "My daughter-in-law also sided with my son.
"You don't understand, it's a promising project, and I just like airplanes, I just want to try it. "I started to argue with my family.
"Dad, at your age now, you still want to do these childish things, it's really speechless. My youngest son also voiced his opinion.
But ...... "I feel very wronged, why can't they understand my thoughts."
I felt very frustrated by the opposition of my family, they didn't understand my dreams, they didn't support me, and I really didn't know what to do.
My heart was in trouble, and I knew very well that my family's worries were motivated by love and responsibility. But I can't get rid of my obsession with aircraft building.
That's when I got a call from the big guy who built the plane.
"Old friend, I've got funding from other investors and can now start our aircraft engine development program.
When I heard the news, my heart began to surge with emotions, and I knew that this was the opportunity I had been waiting for for a long time, but at the same time, my worries about my family were getting worse.
"Daddy, why don't you understand, what a dangerous and unreliable decision!" the eldest son became a little angry.
"Yes, you insist on going your own way, this is irresponsible!" the daughter-in-law also persuaded her.
I tried hard to explain my thoughts and felt that my family would understand me. But it backfired, and they still insisted on opposing it.
At the same time, in the face of the opportunity I dreamed of, I couldn't give up.
After a few days of entanglement and suffering, I decided to put aside the plan of aircraft manufacturing for the time being, concentrate on family affairs, and communicate and adjust the emotions of my family.
After thinking about this decision in my mind, I felt that it was very important. In any case, I can't let the family get divided because of my decision.
Although it is difficult to let go of my dream of building an airplane, family harmony and stability are equally important to me.
During this time, my relationship with my family gradually became more harmonious, and they had more smiles on their faces.
However, just then, I received a call from the aircraft manufacturer. He told me that his team had made a breakthrough in developing a new aircraft engine, and that if they could invest as soon as possible, they would be able to successfully complete and start building the aircraft.
What should I do?
"Dad, how can you do this! With so much money, all of it has been earned through hard work, how can you use it to invest in projects that are so risky!" said my eldest son.
"Yes, your responsibility is to do business, to support your family, not to take money and take risks. "My daughter-in-law also sided with my son.
"You don't understand, it's a promising project, and I just like airplanes, I just want to try it. "I started to argue with my family.
"Dad, at your age now, you still want to do these childish things, it's really speechless. My youngest son also voiced his opinion.
But ...... "I feel very wronged, why can't they understand my thoughts."
I felt very frustrated by the opposition of my family, they didn't understand my dreams, they didn't support me, and I really didn't know what to do.
For the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Whenever my family talks about investing in an aircraft project, I feel heavy.
He told me that he had always had a business plan that had only been put on hold for years due to lack of funds. His plan is to open a small medical clinic in the countryside to meet the needs of his farmer friends and the surrounding residents.
When I got home, I mentioned the program to my family. I thought they would understand, or support me. But unexpectedly, they were all against it.
"Dad, why did you change your mind again, you could do whatever you wanted, what do you want to do over and over again?"
"Yes, you said you were going to invest in the aircraft project, why did you change your mind again?" said my youngest son.
"Why can't you support Daddy?" I felt a little annoyed.
"We support your dreams, but frequent changes in plans can only make you feel untrustworthy. My daughter-in-law also said.
Their words left me a little overwhelmed. I felt like I didn't know what to do, and they didn't understand what I was thinking.
I was angry, I felt like they didn't understand me and didn't support me. I felt very helpless in the face of my sons' resolute opposition.
I felt extremely aggrieved and disappointed. I love my family, but I also want to make my dreams come true.
I don't think I'm dictatorial, I just want them to understand my ideas and support me.
Things are getting more and more confusing, and the relationship between the family members is becoming very strained. I don't know if I should choose to compromise or stick to my dreams.
I don't really know what I'm going to do anymore.
