One a' them rules is don't go trusting another man's path... People do it, they do what their mommies and daddies did, they make them same mistakes, they have them same joys and hurts, they just repeating. Trees don't grow exactly where their momma is; ain't no room... I weren't following no one up through life. Beth Lewis
About This Quote

The best way not to make the same mistakes as your parents is to do things differently. If you base your life on what your parents did, you will definitely make the same mistakes they did. There is no one else like you and it is very difficult for anyone else to live your life the way you want it to be. The only way for a person to live their own life is to take action and, as a result, will not be a carbon copy of their parents' mistakes.
