Vocation

Niccolo Machiavelli wrote in chapter 15 of his famous work, The Prince that “it is necessary for a ruler, if he wants to hold on to power, to learn how not to be good, and to know when it is and when it is not necessary to use this knowledge” (Machiavelli, The Prince, 48).

When you are first born, your mother and father are there with you. Your family is there from when you are born and remain with you for the rest of your life. Family is the most important thing on this earth. Without a family, you can become lost or isolated, so why not set aside everything else going on in your life to make time for your family?
