My mother has a huge influence on what I am doing as I am a true family guy. I tend to always listen to my family members first. Of course, I think I can be a self-reliant person but why should I be such a person if I have so many people around me wanting to help me. The thing is, we are very close with each other in my family and we help each other without any hesitations. You have to help your family for they are the closest people you have around you. You live with them, don"t you? My mother can always think of an idea which usually helps me a lot. For instance, a couple of days ago my mother told me something like, you should sell your silver Patrick. She came up with that idea while cleaning my room the other day. She might actually be right about that because I have lots of unused silver in my room. My grandparents used to buy me a lot of silver necklaces and stuff like that. I have quite a few of them actually. So what my mother said is not that bad actually. I think you should do the same if you have too much redundant silver in your drawer. Do it, sell your silver this is my mother"s advice to me and my advice to you. If you do not need it, why bother having it?
