Lessons from my child...#1

I should take a leaf out of Ian's book in perseverance. He has fallen down several times in his quest to take the first step, yet he just keeps standing up again and again, all the time smiling, and clapping his hands.

I know kids do walk eventually and it's like a human instinct thing. Just the simplicity of this principle: not giving up even when you fall, is an encouragement. Perhaps when we get older we forget that was how we learnt to walk too. We remember too much of the pain of failing.

Now after a week of practice, Ian's balance is much better, and he is physically ready to walk. What's left now is him having confidence to take his first step, and the rest should be history.

And we'll all be relieved of carrying a 12.7kg extra load!

The weekend is over, it's time to turn the page and look forward with a smile and a believing spirit. :)
