We all know that children love to wish and dream of different things. As a child, I used to dream to become a doctor. Along that dream came my stethoscope toys and tiny plastic thermometers. Every time I played with those toys, I felt that I truly did what a doctor would do. The dreams of children usually encourage them to pursue their future. Our great leaders started with a small dream when they were kids.

Among the many things that fathers would be able to leave with their children especially sons are unique experiences that they sacrificed with their children. Take fishing for example. One experience that is cherished and remembered through out the childs lifetime and may even be relayed to next generation as a bedtime story is his or her childhood fishing experience.

As I watched the finale of the movie “National Treasure,” it hit me right there, how Benjamin Gates (Nicolas Cage) was strongly influenced by his ancestors. That was his motivating factor. His grandfather told him stories about how his great grandfathers kept the secret of a hidden treasure that would be know as the “treasure of all treasures.”

Nowadays, more and more youngsters do crazy things. The lack of attention and nurturing that parents give to their children is one of the most common roots of all these misdemeanors. The number of children who are being effectively “taught” by the television or the computer is increasing. Most lessons they learned from the outside world, if not processed correctly, proved to be more detrimental than helpful.

If for example, a father would bring his son to a lake nearby or a few hours out of town, what joy would that be for a 9 year old boy. I can only imagine the stories that he would tell his classmates and friends of how the trout and salmon wiggled its tails as he took it by his hands. Probably, he would tell them about the fun walk that he had with his dad on the way to the lake. Some had to drive to get to the nearest lake so he might tell them of the many scenic views that they saw along the way. He wouldnt probably fail to appreciate the sandwich by the gasoline station along the way.

Though these are simple experiences for us, for kids, these are great experienes that will be with them all their lives. However, albeit simple, yet, simple lake fishing with your son may be the very thing that will make him a better person soon, as he grows in life.
