Just finished watching the"Kungfu Panda" with Channery. It was actually nice to rewatch the shows. I like the scene whereby the Wugui Master told Po the panda"
Yesterday was history, tomorrow is mystery and today is a gift' As it is present. True that we should never look back on whatever decision we made in the past. What past is over, tomorrow we won't really know but we should make the best for today. Everyday is a gift. How many tomorrows do we have? our tomorrows depends on our present. Are we doing what's best for today?
Po the Panda was condemned by his shifu as he appeared to be useless and never make it as Kungfu warrior. Using his old methods of training his disciplines just won;t work on Po. When he had a change of opinion on Po, he started to use a method that works well with Po -using food and that works. Scolding and using the usual ways will never derive any result. Everyone is different and we must develop every child the best he or she could be. I remembered what a couple in USA once commented when a reporter asked them how do they raise 3 gifted kids? The couple replied that they did what they thought is best for their kids. The eldest and second children like Maths and Science so he was given the opportunity to pursue their interest and do whatever they like. The third child loves music and loves playing the piano so she was allowed to go that direction. Their children are like any other children in their neighbourhood.
Yesterday before I rested, I told Joe that we have missed the boys' growing years and we are fortunate to be here for Channery. Channery is growing up so fast and learning so many things that everyday is a wonder. She can now put words in songs and sing to her hearts content. Creative as she can sing the same tune with different words in it. Just now I pretended to be asleep and she beat her drum trying to wake me up. When Joe was sick she went to fetch water for him. Everyday she has different ways of expressing herself.
Come to think of it, Charlynn had me for nearly 2 years when she was young but the boys were really like refuges. We could not remember what happened when they were young. Maria was the one taking care of them. I was doing my Master degree and doing grassroot work and never really know what was happening at home. My ex-maid was so capable that I do not have time to ponder anything wrong in mylife. Time waits for no man so we have to make the best of what we have got.
Like in life saving course, to save others, you must save yourself first. If you do not love yourself, nobody will love you.
