Be independent, and be able to think for themselves. My daughter is very much like me, a go-getter. I am hoping to first get her to become a doctor, then a politician. She always wants to work for WHO anyway. My son got my other set of genes, a natural born engineer and a philosopher, and a budding composer (that is from his father).
Of course my cat can be anything she wants to be. So she assumes the postion: Her Majesty, ruler of the house.
