As i read the article, i felt that it is really a well written article. It is about parents of children with disabilities who give in to them thinking that they want to protect them. Jeremy empahasize that by doing this they are only spoiling them and depriving them from getting the best. The scenarios that he used, and the words describing his feelings were very appropriate. His dad winning argument is "If you want him to be strong, you must not pamper him. he must learn not only to endure the pain, but also prevail over it". As i am writing this, my mom is yelling at my sis who is running late for school. Thanks to all the pampering, she become a spoilt brat who at the age of 8 still cannot get things done on her own.
Not only this article reach out to parents of disabled kids, it is also good for evrybody. I remember when i was younger, i wasn't given the luxury that my siblings now enjoy. I used to curse and swear at the thought of it. But as i think it over, i realise that it actually teaches me to value life. That money does not give you everything.
I was agonising the fact that everybody keep saying that i put on weight, even though i can't really see it. Now i learn that instead of dwelling over it, i should get my fat ass up and start doing something. Instead of crying and calling ayie, i need to take action. Thanks to Jeremy, i learn that i would not give in to my tears of a moment as good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger the wind, the stronger the tress will be.
I found this interesting quote in a toilet. That's right, in the toilet at Qian Hu Fish Farm.
And this last one is give by Ayie this morning.. Thanks honey....
