“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”
— Anne Frank
Simplified Meaning:
Parents can help their children by giving them good tips and guiding them in the right direction, but how a person turns out is ultimately up to them. Imagine a teacher showing students the steps to solve a math problem. The teacher can explain and help, but each student has to do the problem on their own. Similarly, parents can teach and advise, but each person decides how to act and what kind of person to be. For example, even if parents teach kindness and patience, it’s the child who chooses to be kind and patient in real-life situations. This means we have the power to shape who we are, no matter where we start.
