Uncle John's Principle to Life

My mother's brother is someone who doesn't speak much.

He is known to me as Uncle John.

His theory to life has always been the listener, one who doesn't contribute much in terms of opinion. At first I felt like he was bein slightly irresponsible whenever things happened because all he would do was to listen to what others had to say and he would carry out whichever person's opinion he thinks is right.
If he doesn't agree at all, he'd do what he wants and quietly does it his way. He doesn't ask for any praise or objection.

He has always been himself.

I learnt that in life, we all have to be Uncle John sometimes.
