由自強不息以及為路人準備茶水的舉動看，你母親應是人格傑出的那類人。

Often, the effect of a person isn't from her wealth and education but her character.

You were actually very well blessed having had such a character as your mother. I have seen in many cases that the child suffered from poor parental characters while hardly from poverty (at least not as extreme as yours).

It is satisfactory too that your mother found good responses in her children.
