自小我就知道，父親和母親深深相愛。只要單獨出門，他們總會吻別，我們兄妹幾個覺得挺肉麻的，可結(jié)婚時，我卻滿心希望所找到的這個人，能像父親愛母親那樣愛著我。在我家，愛無處不在，我成長的過程很有安全感，真是妙不可言。

我上大學(xué)時，母親在與乳腺癌作斗爭。父親自己憂心忡忡，卻是我們的精神支柱，對母親而言尤其如此。做了乳房切除術(shù)之后，母親決定不接受乳房再造術(shù)，以免再受手術(shù)之苦，母親告訴我，在他們一起走過的日子里，父親甚至不曾叫她改變發(fā)型。相反，他總是對她說，她是多么的美麗動人。正因為這樣，與癌癥作斗爭，對她而言，倒也并不是多么可怕的事。她深知，不管發(fā)生什么事，父親和他的愛總是會和她在一起。

注：瑞貝卡·洛伯曾當(dāng)選全美“大學(xué)最佳球員”，曾是美國女子職業(yè)籃球協(xié)會的紐約自由女神隊球員。理查德·布蘭森：鼓勵我和幾個姐妹在英格蘭的一個小村莊長大。父親是個律師，為了生計而奔波，我卻一直就認(rèn)為他與眾不同。他從不指責(zé)我們，只是表揚，把我們的長處發(fā)揮出來。他會說：“給花澆水，花就會茂盛；不澆水，花就會死?！?/p>

我還記得我小的時候，說了別人幾句不好聽的話，父親便說，“說別人的壞話，反映的是你自身的品質(zhì)。”他還解釋說，看到旁人的長處，別人也會看我的長處。我在經(jīng)營公司時，一直盡量遵循這個原則。父親還一向通情達(dá)理。15歲那年，我辦了一本雜志，花了大量的時間，校長讓我自己作決定：要么繼續(xù)學(xué)業(yè)，要么輟學(xué)去辦雜志。我決定輟學(xué)。父親很盡責(zé)，他也曾勸我改變主意，后來發(fā)現(xiàn)我心意已決，就說，“理查德，我23歲那會兒，我爸爸勸我從事法律工作。我一直引以為憾。我本來想學(xué)考古，但我沒有去追求我的夢想。你知道自己要追求的目標(biāo)。去圓你的夢吧?！蔽业男‰s志繼續(xù)辦下去了，后來改名《學(xué)生》，成為全英發(fā)行的青年雜志。我和妻子有兩個孩子，我在想，我要用父親撫養(yǎng)我的方法來培養(yǎng)他們。注：理查德·布蘭森是維珍企業(yè)集團(tuán)董事長，該集團(tuán)擁有維珍大西洋航空公司，維珍娛樂公司以及維珍可樂公司。約翰·路易斯：希望小時候，我住在阿拉巴馬州的特洛伊，我經(jīng)常抱怨每天要起很早去農(nóng)場干活。一天，父親把我拉到一邊說：“孩子，我們這么做，也是為了日子好過呀。堅持一下，情況總會好起來的?！?/p>

父親生性樂觀，對未來滿懷希望，這種態(tài)度對我有潛移默化的影響。他還教導(dǎo)我們說，我們不能只顧自己，還應(yīng)該關(guān)心別人。

在我看來，父親總是在奉獻(xiàn)，在分享。我們自己條件也不寬裕，沒有很多可供奉獻(xiàn)或分享，但父親堅信，一切都會好的，即使在極其艱難的條件下也會如此。當(dāng)年阿拉巴馬有許多事情令人可怕：種族隔離很厲害；我們用的噴泉式飲水器上面標(biāo)著“黑人使用”字樣；上街時我們只能走街道的一邊。但他挺過了這一切，沒有怨，沒有怒，沒有憎。

1977年，父親過世了。要是他還健在，能親眼看到我入選議會，他一定會引以為榮，滿心歡喜的。我相信，此時此刻，他就在天堂注視著我。
