Still unbeatable hoop legend Michael Jordan accompanies his son, Jeff Jordan, to his first game with the University of Illinois basketball team. He is freshman player No. 13 and with a father like his, it is not easy to stay in the background.

Michael Jordan, 44, is said to have always taught his kid to set his own expectations, and if he is happy, that’s all that really matters. Jordan said to his little player that he’s never going to make everybody and he has to be his own person, by enjoying his life in whichever field he chooses to venture into. Jordan always lets his son know that whether he’s going to be a basketball player, doctor, lawyer, or whoever, he will always be there to support him all the way. What a good father and son relationship, eh?

Everybody can all learn from the education advice that Michael Jordan has told his son. Every parent should make it a point to let their kids know that what’s really important in choosing the career that they want is not peer pressure or living up to expectations. Education should be fun and not something that will make life difficult. If you’re parents are legendary artists, basketball players, or multi awarded engineers, it doesn’t mean that you would have to follow the same path that they have been to. True enough, Jordan says you just have to be your own person and education should be a pleasant ride.
