Family Ties

Vito Corleone: "You spend time with your family?"

Johnny Fontaine: "Sure I do"

Vito: "Good. Because a man who does not spend time with his family can never be a real man"

(The Godfather, 1970s)

Family ties are the core of the human institution. 

More often than not, people with good family backgrounds tend to grow up more wholesome and secure. 

Family ties instil trust. And this is important. 

Coz if it is a case of you vs the world, then the family will guarantee you the trust. 

You can trust your family. That sense of security will make or break you in the world. 

Even the toughest men has the sweet spot for the family. 

But remember, family is not necessarily blood relations. 

Even friends who are close to each other can be called a family. 

When overseas, your friends are all you got. They're family. So trust them like your own. 

Even sailors who sail to sea months at a time have each other to rely on. That is their family. 

So keep your family close. What simpler message can i give? =)
