Short story by Сергей Львович.
My mother is nearly always right. For example, she told me that if I didn`t study hard in school, my life would be a mess. She was right - it is such a mess. I can`t get any girl and every job interview ends with the same question: why should we hire you?
But I am not complaining about it. Actually my mother told me that if you are not satisfied with the life, all you have to do is change something in yourself or in your life and then everything will be fine.
I have been changing myself, but it`s hard to say if I succeed. My mother told me that I should always do the right thing.
I am not sure if that is really true. I think it`s much more important to be a good person, but what does it mean? Is it enough just to do the right thing or you need something else?
I wish I could ask my mother, but she is not even alive any more. She died a long time ago when I was just three years old.
I have been thinking about it and I quess my mother was wrong. Maybe she is not always right, but I love her nevertheless.
