Few things are more touching in life than making our parents proud. Whether your parents are around or not (talking to you, Bruce Wayne) – it’s no secret that the people we grow up to be are based on reflections and experiences that we’ve had with our parents.

Sometimes, I think back at the times that my parents were the most proud of me. My graduation. Getting a big promotion at work. They had big smiles and were happy for me as I looked back at them stone-faced. With joy, my mother gave me a hug at my graduation and with a shrug I told her that “we’re here with thousands of other graduates and I need to be capable of doing more.” Since then, I have the same reaction to any of my accomplishments and my parents seem to be as enthusiastic as I am when it comes to their son’s achievements.

Someone is very proud of the person you are becoming and by showing your enthusiasm for them being a part of it, you’ll be giving them a special feeling that is way more priceless than any gift that money can buy.
