- Lawrence Welk

About this Quote

This quote by Lawrence Welk talks to the commonality of ambition amongst phase moms. It recommends that all phase moms have a strong desire to see their children be successful in the show business. This ambition is often so strong that it can be viewed as overpowering. It is likely that this ambition is driven by a desire to see their daughters accomplish success and acknowledgment, in addition to a desire to live vicariously through their daughters. This aspiration can be both favorable and negative, as it can result in terrific success, but can also lead to self-important pressure and impractical expectations. Ultimately, this quote acts as a suggestion of the power of aspiration and the significance of striking a balance between aspiration and support.
