and Joe replied I have not still changed my plans of becoming a teacher and Bright with a dismayed face responded to Joe, how i wish my dad we let me be, I really want to be a teacher, I love teaching, but my dad said teachers are poor and i will end up becoming poor after graduating if i follow my dreams.

and Bright said okay dad.
         
       Immediately he wanted to leave, he came back and he said dad am having some issues in this future decision making. Last time you advised me dad to be a doctor because i we earn more income but am sincerely not interested in becoming a doctor, his dad was silent, Bright continued but dad please don't get angry with me but isn't my Happines more important than wealth ??
Immediately his dad burst into tears and his dad said, my son am very sorry, i was carried away by the income aspect not considering the happiness aspect. Go after your happiness my son and am hundred percent in support of you.

       His dad puts his hand in his pocket trying to get his white handkerchief to wipe his tears from his face, upon bringing out the handkerchief from his pocket, an envelope fell down from his pocket.
