It’s very difficult to do something to please someone yet face rejection from that same person.

“That’s just the worst part of it,” Sam was quoted as saying, “When you don’t think your dad’s proud of you,” Sam revealed how many of his other hobbies, like fishing, pleased his father a lot, but his career choice was something that he was adamant about telling his son that it just wasn’t the right thing to do.
