Today, I received a birthday gift from my dad – a TomTom navigation system! I was truly, truly happy about my gift. Because for my last birthday, I received loudspeaker cables or an amplifier or something similar. Something hi-fi. My dad is a true hi-fi freak.
I was telling Andreas, our company’s technical adviser, about the gift and how I believe I am the only girl in the world who gets cables for her birthday – other girls get shoes or bags or jewellery. Andreas looked at me and said “Wooow, your dad really loves you!”
That moment I understood it – you shouldn’t just look at the gift, you have to look at whom it came from. One has to understand that my dad does not have a son and that he is an engineer (ok, an architect). So considering how foreign the idea of shoes/bags/jewllery is to him, I am really, really happy about my navigation system. Yep, my dad loves me. Thanks dad! Love you too!

Since you do not live together, he clearly loves you. Otherwise he just gives you things his wife does not let him buy for himself and then he can use them later himself.
There might be a message behind a navigation system. Something like “now you cannot say anymore that visiting us is too hard” or “You seem lost my girl, this here might help” or “Stop hanging around at home. Go out and find a guy. This is so you find back again”, or even “My wife shouts at me when I get lost. Take this so people do not shout at you, too. Since we both do not like to ask others for help…”…. just guessing here, though
How about just: find your way?
And what should I think of the cables then?
Cables? Good Audio Cables are made of perfect material, are made for a certain direction of current, are well isolated and the plugs are goldplated..
So You should isolate yourself, and work in one direction instead of letting other people tell you what to do and do 10 things at the same time. For the material you are made of you will have to blame your parents directly. And if your connectors are gold-plated is a different story altogether.
