KIDS ARE LESSONS

WALK: If we obsereve kids, they walk, they fall, walk again, fall and again walk. Upteem times they keep falling and walking untill they learn walking. They don’t care any pain. It was told that they spent 7 to 8 hours every day to learn walkng. By the time they walk learning, they will be circling as much as 20 cricket stadiums, they almost climb eight thousand stairs. They have only one vision, the vision is walking, walking and walking. It is never treated as punishment or like an exam and they don’t relax once they learn. Then moment they learn walking, they start running, playing, climbing, sliding, cycling, swimming, skating, etc. These are indeed lessons!!

Where as for us one small obstacle either in personal life or the professional life put us very much down as if all is lost. All we need is to take a cue from the kids.

WORDS:The number of words kids learn, their pronunciation, tenses, genders, nouns, sentences, is amazing. They listen to other kids carefully, pick the words from tv and elders speaking. It is really important for us to be careful to speak in front of the kids.
Kids know that they cant speak well, they know that they cant pronounce well ,they know that others will laugh at them, but they do speak bravely. Until they get the enough words the words they keep on talking. Right from the age of two to fourteen every day right from the morning to the time they sleep, they learn two new words in every half hour.

SOCIALIZE: If we make ten kids to sit in one place and ask them who will sing better, all ten raise their hands. If we ask them who sings better all ten of them raise their hands. The same if we ask who dance better, its the same outcome. In case of us it is reverse, even better singer or dancer will be hesitant to raise the hand. Lack in self confidence and fear of failure will play a major role in us.

HAPPY DOTS: If we are asked about our most happiest moments, it will be very few like when we got married, got a kid, got a job etc. we struggle to pick from a span of 30- 40 years. Where as kids , each and every step is the most happiest moment watching a movie in IMAX, playing in rain, eating an icecream, watching a rainbow, eating bhel puri, trying to catch a butter fly, playing cricket, catching somebody in pool, playing volley ball, playing Need for Speed on computer, reading Birbal comics, watching Harry Potter on TV, playing with Uddhu the friend at home, a birthday gift etc. Countless

LAUGH:If we see kids laughing it comes from their heart with lot of love. For us we need a reason to laugh, whats the gain in it as if we take a credit card of our purse. Only in need we spend in laughing. We cant laugh like kids.

Kids don’t spend their time brooding over the past or thinking over the future, they spend the time in the moment. This is an art and it can be learnt only from them. They don’t care of the past and fear of the future. They neither worry about yesterdays failure nor think about tomorrow success..


Indeed Kids are Lessons…!!!
