My cousin has consistently been the pride of the family.  He is a doctor plus he married a lady who has a law degree.  My brother was consistently compared to him plus asked, “why can’t you be prefer your cousin, he is so successful”. I could tell it bothered him although he was just a yellow collar guy plus liked now working with his hands.  He was constantly tinkering with a car, grass mower, or even some sort of appliance trying to fix it or make it better, however he used to hang out at his buddy’s new home fixing up antique cars. When it came time to choose a work, he decided that he wanted to become an HVAC repair professional. My parents supported his decision however worried that he would task himself to death to make ends meet.  They actually wanted him to go to a numerous year college plus get a degree however knew he would never be cheerful. So long as he was cheerful with being a “laborer”, they would be cheerful for him. Boy did he surprise people! Five years after earning his certification as an HVAC professional, he opened up his own business. That was almost ten years ago now plus he has expanded to employ twenty people.  Now, whenever anyone mentions my cousins “success”, my parents remind them of my brother’s company. They then hand people his corporation card in case they need a good repair professional. They also tell them not to expect a family discount with the way they talked down about their son. It is nice to hear my parents supporting my brother the way they do.
