When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

3. The Social Connection
Some people often neglect social compatibility, though this very area creates lots of stresses on relationships. Social compatibility primarily concerns family patterns and social relating.
The old saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," usually holds true. Who you are, and many of your life perspectives stem directly from your family upbringing. If you grew up in a home in which you received love, support, encouragement and security from your parents, then you probably have a good foundation for build¬ing a happy family. If you didn't grow up in such an environment, then you would have to work harder to develop a strong bond. Some of the important issues associ¬ated with family background are holiday customs, family rules, finances, domestic responsibilities, and rearing children.

The apple (or nut) doesn't fall far from the tree.
One resembles their master/teacher/parents.
Ex.
Colette is exactly like her mother. They both earned a degree from the same University, and are working in the same field!

A chip off the old block.
Like father, like son.

There are several phrases that come to mind that suggest that our roots in part determine what we become. "A chip off the old block," "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," and "Like father, like son." That all describes one part of growing up, the influence of family and heredity. But another aspect of it has to do with our childhood apart from the family, and the interactions we're involved in with friends and at school, and how this also shapes us.
A tiger father has no canine sons.

When a child is showing personality traits similar to a parent, an American might say, LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON. Traced back to the early 1300s, this idiom was used as the title of an American movie in 1987 about a father and son whose bodies and personalities are temporarily switched.

En Colombia decimos "hijo de tigre nace pintado", pero no conozco ningún dicho en inglés que incluya un animal o símbolo similar.
"Like father, like son" es sencillo y se puede utilizar tanto para características buenas como para cosas malas.
