"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."

This proverb means when you want to achieve your goals, even thought your goals will be doing slower or longer, it is better than you give up and don't reach your goals. For example, some people study quite slow, but they remember things in detail and longer. Others study quick, but then they forget everything. Overall, the value of the proverb is to be patient, and not give up things no matter how long it takes.

I was lucky person that i had a lot advices from my beloved mother, but the best advice that i received from her when i did not obey and said something bad to my father. I wanted to buy a new bicycle when i studied in middle school. My father did not agree because it was dangerous when riding bicycle by myself and while he took me to and rode me home everyday. Thus, I got angry and did not talk to him for several days. My mom said that: when you treat and say something bad to others, you have firstly to put you in their situation and wonder what do you feel. Also, she said that i could buy anything i want, but your parents that you have only one whatever who they are. Finally, i ran to my father and apologized for my fault, but he was not angry and forgave me. I realized that parents give their children a large field of grapes, yet children can not give back to them a bunch of grapes.

I have to agree that American food is really delicious. However, delicious is usually equal with fat and rich calories. Moreover, American foods usually have lot of cheese to make dishes more tastes. Thus, it is the reason behind of gain weight. Also, the size of dishes are quite large and there are more meat than vegetable. Some restaurants give free beverage drink.Therefore, that leads to over nutrition in each dishes. However, consuming less or much nutrition depends on people's awareness. They need to know how much calories they consume, as well as, combine doing exercise to burn redundant fat. To me, if someone say: let's go to American, i would think about steak and ribs which i really enjoy.
