Your father's purpose in living doesn't violate laws and public order, and won't harm society. I don't simply oppose the purpose.
But when a person lacks the corresponding abilities and can't encounter suitable opportunities, but covets a goal very much, presumably he lives very uncomfortably.
If your father doesn't have an advantage in diploma, income, or position, but always compares you with the kids of senior officials or tycoons, demands you to achieve as well as them, you may likely suffer great anxiety due to him.
And just as we can't put eggs in the only basket, we shouldn't overly invest resources in uncertain things, nor overly treasure achievements in a narrow field. After all, there are numerous uncertain factors in life, so it's feasible to try to belittle unexpected failures and enjoy unexpected successes. Compared to our own developments, there are more uncertainties in the developments of others even if they are our close relatives, after all it's difficult for us to unify hobbies, goals, opinions, etc. of others and us, ascertaining their real thoughts is also a thorny task.
To sum up, it's great for parents to care for their children, but I think that parents should give priority to their own successes rather than their children's successes. Otherwise, they aren't exemplary and it's difficult for them to guide their children correctly. If parents care too much about their children, children may feel that parents are controlling them, thus can impair physical and mental health of children. Perhaps more democratic methods of family education can be adopted.
