How CEOs without College Degrees got to the top.

Speaking exercise

How can you relate to the father/daughter relationship in the movie?
The father had to leave the daughter even though she was just a teenager. The daughter may not have a chance to meet her father again and so she becomes angry and sad. She refused to say goodbye to her father, so they missed their last chance of seeing each other. I could feel this father’s feeling when he left his home, it was very very sad. Because he was a man, he didn’t cry and just kept this sadness in his heart.
