tomorrow is Dominicans Mother’s Day so I
thought it would only be fitting to talk
about mom’s do you ever feel like your
mom’s voice rings in your ear every time
you’re gonna make an important decision
I do that’s what those mothers are first
teachers and even when they are not
physically present their voice and words
of wisdom
stick with us when I told my mom that I
will be doing this TED talk she was so
excited about the idea and she was
constantly giving me input even when I
didn’t ask for it and now that I
couldn’t help feeling annoyed it
inspired me to work harder and make this
the best TED talk it can be I have
learned that nagging is a cycle trust me
if you knew my grandmother you would
know what I’m talking about
my grandma nagged my mom my mom nags me
and I will probably nag my children ever
since I was a little girl my mom has
pushed scolded urged and worried my mom
used to ask me every day did you do your
homework but now she doesn’t even ask
anymore because all those years of
nagging have led me to become
responsible with my schoolwork but don’t
think the knighting has stopped she’s
always pushing me to be better and she
doesn’t settle for less but something
that she does say a lot these days is
stop watching Netflix and do something
productive or clean your room and fix
your closet does it sound familiar
although those little phrases seem
insignificant they definitely have
developed my sense of urgency and
organization not only do nagging mom’s
nag but they also organize and plan when
I was younger I always had a schedule I
had breakfast at a certain time and I
had a go to sleep at a certain time and
that concept of organization has stuck
with me so this day but I’m not the only
example frigid amel and am Rankin singer
known for being part of a black-eyed
peas said in an interview that her
mother made her understand the
importance of having a schedule in
sticking
and that by setting forth a realistic
calendar and schedule she was able to
reach her goals and it’s a lesson that
she still uses to this day mothers are
very powerful powerful influence on
their daughters studies conducted in the
University of Essex by dr. Erica Jean
Raskin Ramirez have proven that when the
main parent usually the mother said
steep standard for their daughter’s
education
those girls were more likely to attend
college take better paying jobs and
avoid teen pregnancy not only the words
make an impact but actions too as well
mothers should honor their words and
lead by example so the trustworthy
relationship with their mother with her
daughters and show them how to be strong
and successful my mother is a lawyer
she’s one of the most hard-working
people I know she almost never misses a
day at work and whenever she does she’s
in constant communication with her team
in 23 years at her firm she went from
being a secretary to a partner her hard
work speaks volumes and I’m extremely
proud of my mom Cindy our principal
product manager at Microsoft said in an
interview that her mother worked
tirelessly for 70 years before retiring
and her actions have spoken to her even
more so than her words some people might
think that nagging damages the
parent-child relationship and offers no
long-term solutions however I believe
that when mothers nag their daughters
develop many important characteristics
that can help them succeed in the future
these being ambition a sense of urgency
organization work ethic goal-setting
persistence determination it may seem
like we’re not paying attention to all
the nagging yet most times we are and
most importantly it all comes back to us
when we are making crucial decisions for
example Peggy Johnson executive vice
president of business development and
Microsoft recalls in an interview that
she can still hear her mother’s voice
echoing through the house remaining her
and her siblings to make their beds she
says that all small reminders about the
importance of discipline and order have
been critical for her and her
career I need to highlight the fact that
everything in excess is definitely
negative the term tiger mom has been
related to nagging moms but there is
certainly a difference Tiger moms have a
strict and tough parenting style
sometimes abusive there are some
similarities between them but Tiger moms
are an extreme side of nagging I’m most
certainly not condoning extreme and
abusive parenting styles but I’m also
not telling mothers her raise their
daughters since every parent’s has a
right to educate their child how they
believe is right nonetheless I think it
is worth highlighting the benefits are
reinforcing positive behavior setting
limits and encouraging success to build
strong children Frederick Douglass once
said it is easier to build strong
children than to repair broken ‘man some
people might think that not that being a
nagging mom is negative but I’m
convinced that what they might be pushy
they’re pushing us towards success with
their urging they are creating a sense
of urgency with their badgering they
encourage us to work hard and with the
worrying they show us how much they care
many intrapreneurs influences and
professionals credit their mothers for
imparting essential knowledge that has
been key to their careers and success
and they’re keen to show their
appreciation sharpen Kansan executive
director of the Greater Philadelphia
film office was able to cement the film
offices reputation and become a
trailblazer in the industry which he was
able to convince a movie director to
film his movie in her City and then
surprisingly have him named the movie
after the city Philadelphia the first
thing she said after she got the good
news was I have to go call my mother I
know that many of you can relate to this
I know I do
I’m currently class president and
president of the NHS chapter deep down I
know that I couldn’t have done that
without my mother she pushed me to do
well in school and become a well-rounded
person so that when the time came I
would be able to take advantage of these
type of opportunities thank you mom
obviously nothing in life is guaranteed
and I’m not here to tell you that just
because you have a nanny mom you’ll be
successful I can be the experiment if
you will my mother is
definitely an animal will I be
successful in the future
you have to win see so what I want you
to take away from this talk is that
daughters appreciate your Naima Ito
LeConte Aleta mothers keep doing what
you’re doing it’s working
thank you [Applause]
