If people could read my thoughts, half the time they'd think I was insane, but I know they're insane too :D
It is short term vs long term thinking.
Do you want to feel good for ~ 1 minute, or for the rest of your life?
Just pause, and think, before you answer. Pretend your mother, father, or your children are in the room with you, and you'll do alright
Anyone can pursue their passions, and realize their dreams, but you have to at least consider the affect on your wife or children.
Now this is not saying don't get married, lol.
It's just about choices. Realize that all we think and do, is so subjective.
You could be the smartest guy in the world, or the most caring guy in the world.
Which would you say matters more?
Intellect fades. Youth fades. Life gives way to death.
These are not bad things, but they are natural, as we come to understand.
But in all of this, you have to be you, and not your parents.
Never forget, your parents were children, and probably are in some ways, as the are with you, for your entire life.

ie - expand my domains
37 years in myself
Think hard, but love harder. In both, be humble, but in all things challenge yourself and others. Questions things, but don't forget that being kind, loving, and inteligent is a gift to yourself first, and others at the same time.
For myself, I think it's not just being there, but actually engaging them.
Expressing myself openly, with an open heart, and mind.
I've not been good at that in the past but as I get older, it is what I hope and wish for, and am trying to be better at.
And many times, even years later, when I google the answer, I google my name, stackoverflow, and the topic, and kapow - answer received :D
All requests need to be iterated on, in real time.
So no one asks the perfect question immediately - it takes attempts, where the answer is no, or failure.
So how fast we can interpret what the answer a terminal gives us is important.
And a picture, or immediate visual interpretation, is worth more than a thousand words.
and if any tech layer fails, it all fails
