I saw this...

I went to my relative house last week and I saw this...

A kid who came to this relative's house together with his mother was running around in the house. He saw a cupboard full of collection items and they looked so great on the display shelf. Out of temptation, he opened the cupboard and started taking out those item one by one "just to have a closer look".

Well, I could still remember if we were to do this during our childhood, my mum would gave us her most stern look and warned us using her eye contact: "Put back those items and sit quietly, this is not your house and you have no rights to touch those items."

When we were kids, we were wondering why was our mum so fierce. Why can't she be more gentle and just allow us to do whatever we like.

I could not remember when I started to realize and understand the word "behave" and "respect". When we were not at our own house, we have to respect others and behave ourselves so we will not mess up the harmonious situation and disrupt others.

When the scene got into my eyes last week, I was asking myself how many parents actually taught their child about values. From my observation it is merely a small group and most of the parents are just accomodating their children's wishes.

This is truly worrying...do we produce next generation who respect others, being humble, with integrity, trustworthy, responsible & etc ... or just merely raising up those kids and our duty is over?
Just keep observing ...

How does it feel...

How does it feel when you have finally done something that has been on your waiting list for so many years?

Happy! Excited! Confident? Energize?? Sorrow because you were afraid that you might have done something wrong along the way? And more worriness...??? Who cares...

Really, who care about that. The only one that matter the most is you, the decision maker. It is about you making that decision to throw out all the "if" questions and accept the challenges by saying "YES, I will do it and I shall give only my best".

"If" questions are truly hypothethical and it exist merely based on our own assumptions. The assumptions was derived out of the mental limitation that were imposed on us over the years. Does the following sounds familiar to you:

"Don't do this, you are far lacking behind."
"Nobody would buy your idea, don't waste your time."
"Don't take the risk dear, you will not be able to make it."
...........

In my opinion, nothing can be more fearful than we doing something harmful to others. As long as our decision is allign to our core values and it will bring good if we choose that path, I would say "go ahead!"
So how would I feel when I have finally made that decision?


I feel good
I feel energize
I feel cheerful for I know I have nothing to be fearful, and
I see hope...
