"العيب الأساسي في الآباء هو أنهم يريدون أن يكون أطفالهم مصدر فخر لهم"
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes fathers hope their children will make them look good or proud, instead of letting the children be who they really are. This can put a lot of pressure on kids. For example, imagine a dad who loves sports and dreams that his son will be a star athlete. But what if the son loves music instead? If the dad only pushes him to play sports, the son might feel unhappy and stressed because he's not doing what he loves. Instead, it's better for fathers to support their kids in their own interests and talents. This way, children can grow into happy, confident adults. The key idea is for dads to focus on their children's happiness and growth, not just on their own pride. It encourages a healthier, more loving relationship.
