Parent's LOVE

What on this earth can be greater than Parental's Love ??
I agreed.... Not all parents are good. But if given a choice, I believe they also wanted the best for their kids. When you are young they take care of you. When you have your kids, they still have to take care for your kids on your behalf. Oh god.....What an obligation!!!

Some parents use care and concern tactics to educate their child, some beat and scold to show their love for their kids. So what is the best method to let the child know that their parents care for them?

If you use the wrong method, side effects often leads to kids going astray, taking up wrong route in life or worse ending their life earlier than expected from some illegal activities. So its very important to know what type of kids you are handling......and give them the appropriate ways and methods of education during their growing up stages.

Yesterday i went over to SGH for a normal checkup. While waiting for my number to be called by "over busy" nurses, I reached out to grab a set of newspaper from the chair next to me. I saw this old man on a wheelchair with his face showing agony over his sickness. However, his son whom was behind him waiting to push this poor old man into the consultant room, had a very reluctant face yawning away. Worse thing is that when the old man asked his son something, this "filial" son pretend not to hear his question and looked restlessly from behind.
Put yourself in this old man's shoes......how much effort you have put in taking care of this kid since he was born till now with this "BO CHAP" altitude towards his own father. Sad rite !!!!

I came across this real life story told by my China friend at work....He told me this:

In China, there is this kid who was born with very violent character. No matter how much effort put in in educating this child, he is just out to create havoc at home. When he grew up, gambling, borrowing money from loanshark, stealing, raping and robbery become his way of living. He even pointed a knife at his mother's neck for money at the age of 21. Eventually he became the village's public enemy. Wherever he goes, poeple either scare of him or avoid him from a distance. his father knew that in future, he will cause harm to the soicety and gadually lost his life to someone or some situation. His father killed him in one of the night where he was fast asleep. he was buried at the backyard of the house and this thing was kept secret until he was called for national voting. His father own up everything and faced death penalty in return.
His father rather killed his own son than having himself killed by the law or bringing harm to other people.

So morale of the story is...
Parents' love in this world is just like the depth of the ocean. No matter what treatment or methods used on the child, it meant well. Love and cherish them when they are around. Even if they scold or beat you, look it from another angle. It may not be a bad thing after all.

10 years of life

Can always heard from drama series ====> How many 10 years a person can have in life ??
Lucky ones may have 12 but how many in this world ?

Average life span of a normal person is 7 to 8 decades.
For the first 10 years = baby to kids to receiving primary education ( So blur blur gone)
The next 2nd 10 years = secondary to poly/University (cheong for studies + puppy love = also blur blur gone)
The next 3rd 10 years = Unviersity to army to just starting of career (Prime period) (Time passes very fast when it is enjoyable)
4th 10 years = establishing of career to getting married to having kids (Thats when you wake up)
5th 10 years = focus on maintaining of small family of yours + sending your kids to school
6th 10 years = about to retire and collecting of CPF + kids just finishes secondary education (busy with their up growing stage)
7th 10 years = attending your kids wedding + tour around the world with ur partner (if they are still around)
8th 10 years (if you are lucky) = go hospital for treatment (when ur engine starts to give u problem) + attending ur friend/ relative funeral
9th 10 years = probably you are gone.......................


Seems like a routine man's life can be described by a few sentences like what I did. SAD rite

So morale of the story is :
Always treasure what is right before your eyes because once you passed that station you wont find that shop again.
