A very good and thoughtful story that leaves the reader with an optimistic feeling.
The father's experience is summed up to the son in a clear way: It is not enough to decide and imagine, you have to work to achieve the goals you have decided on.
I also wish you a happy new year and may the muses continue to be with you, @bruno-kema
Yeah, in a few succinct words, the father tells his son his life story and this changes the way the young man sees the New Year.
Thank you for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
