How one to become a parent?

I created hundred questions to stimulate my mind. This is one of those. Where do we learn to become parents? Although so few places to learn as parents, yet it's one the most important roles for anyone in the world. The implication is so great that it could derail one's confidence in him/herself. S/he could be top dogs cum big shots in work places or well known dudes that draw envies but very likely still fail easily as parents. So how difficult to become "successful" parents? It's a lot more arduous than you thought, in fact hundred times more arduous. We couldn't take classes or courses to learn to be "successful" parents. Even you tried your best and you could end up feeling like a failure. I often take Gibran's "the Prophet" as the beacon to my parental philosophy which I like to share with you --Your children are not your children.-They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.-They come through you but not from you,-And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.-You may give them your love but not your thoughts.-For they have their own thoughts.-You may house their bodies but not their souls,-For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.-You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.-For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.-You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.-The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that -His arrows may go swift and far.-Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;-For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
