          Being unselfish is one of those positive traits in life that we must continuously practice and share with others especially with the young generation. The recent times is a very challenging for all parents. With the emergence of today's modern technologies,  there is a need  for them to display to their kids the trait of generosity for them to learn what is it all about. 

          When they start to explore the world of modern gadgets and begin to use them like ipod, cell phone, tablet etc. the risk of them developing less the idea of being generous is inevitable. It is but common nowadays that wherever you go, kids as young as 1 year old and up start to explore already these gadgets.

And when they learn to manipulate them, the more time that they need to play with them. Consequently they gradually create their own virtual world thus denying themselves the opportunity to cherish playing time with other kids like them.

          Therefore, the challenge now to bring them to the normal world wherein they can and able to share their time with their peers is clear. The adults like the parents need to monitor this reality making it sure that time spent by kids on modern gadgets is balanced with their time for interaction with the world. And this task has to be a priority for them if they dream of having kids who grow in harmony and who learn how to balance their time.

          Have you ever wondered what exactly happened to our life? As we journey through life, let us then take a break every now and then in order to reflect on our past events. As we do that, we can realise that it is as if we are reading a book- the book of our life. With that reflection,  we should always be glad to be active participants of such journey. As we wake up each day, fresh and new learnings embrace us and they could help us proceed with our own development. 

          On the other hand, there is no such limit and boundary over our learnings. It only takes our commitment to participate fully in this journey which expect us to make a difference in our life. One noteworthy

in life is when we share our various giftedness with each other. As we go on with our everyday learnings, we also grow in our awareness over life's excellent stories. 

          As one writer would tell us, he said that " Self-education is, I firmly believe that the only kind of education there is." -Isaac Asimov.  One way or the other, we could agree with Isaac and that as we enter each day, we as a result start to learn new things that contribute colours to this wonderful journey. Numerous people have joined us in this journey most notably those significant others in our life. 

          Hence, as we go on with this trip called LIFE, may we also unceasingly reflect on Isaac's words above and let us be the best persons that we can be. As such, all of us can become agents of joy and growth for others. 

                                             

Treasure Your Life By Spending It Wisely

          Whenever I have the opportunity to look back on my life, I could not help but be amused and delighted upon knowing that everyday that I spend on earth adds to the colourful chapter of my life. Then slowly, I also reflect on how others make waste out of their own lives by not taking care of it. We should always realise that each day that comes into our life, another window of opportunity is opened and it is for us whether to accept it or reject it.

          We need to know the greatness of this life- that our everyday learnings are beyond any limit. And we need to provide commitments as we participate consistently on this race. One way of spending our life wisely is by nurturing our various giftedness- we should not stop learning for any opportunity to interact with others, with something and with any situation, it also extends to us possibilities of growth. 

          And every growth that happens to us needs to be shared with others. Generosity begets generosity. If we share with each other and with others positive things, then as its consequence, we will also reap positive energies from them. Thus, let us constantly remember to express gratefulness to life's author and to share with others this very own giftedness- this thing called LIFE.

                                                  

Dealing with Daily Struggles

          In our day to day experience and journey, we come to terms with situations that will gauge our goals and dreams in life. One of those is when we are struck with illness on some varying degrees. How then do we cope in such conditions? From my own experience, I'm totally aware that facing those struggling moments is not easy. 

          And from one person to the other, each one has his own approach in dealing with them. One can resort to submission and another person could be that strong to just face it fair and square. Yet no matter how we deal with them, what comes out as noteworthy at the end of the struggle is the amount of perseverance and strength that we attribute while we are on its midst.

          Moreover, the way that we cope with those trying moments is at times dependent on those people surrounding us. Lucky we are if we have sufficient resources of contributory factors that could alleviate our predicaments. 

          However if we are living in an environment which is not that helpful and positive to us then most probably, the amount of struggle will become worse. Thus, it is always a constant blessing for all of us if we stay in such a healthy environment whether it is in our home or in a place of shelter. Consequently, the struggles brought along by negative situations like illness, problems could become lighter and source of growth.

                                          

LIFE IS A CONTINUING EDUCATION

          As I proceed with my life journey, I tried to reflect on past events of my life then realized that it is as if I am reading a book- in fact, my own book of life. With such reflection, I am so glad to be a participant of this life journey. Each day as I wake up, new learnings embrace me and they assist me to go on with my own personal development.

          Furthermore, I know that there is no limit and boundary over learnings. It only takes one's commitment to participate consistently in this journey that will make a consequent difference in his/her life. One noteworthy in life is when we share our various giftedness with each other. As you and me go on with our everyday learnings, we grow the more when we exchange life's wonderful stories.

          Allow me to share with you this wonderful quotation, " Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is."- Isaac Asimov. I totally agree with Isaac in this sentiment of his. As I enter each day, I start to learn new things that contribute colors to this journey. Many people have joined me in this journey, first and foremost my wife Yanyan and our little boy, Kurt and I am so grateful to them as well as to my Divine Creator for shower of gifts.

          Thus, as we proceed with our varying trips called life, may we reflect on Isaac's words above and let us consistently remind ourselves that life's education allows us to be the best persons that we can be. As such, you and me can become agents of joy for others especially those who are deprived as a consequence of conflicts, crisis, wars, calamities etc. 

                                       

                                                                         

WELCOMING WITH WARM HEARTS A NEW SEASON: (HAPPY FATHER'S DAY)

          Today is the start of the month of September. While we say goodbye to August, we warmly welcome this month with enthusiasm and excitement as we also open our hearts and minds to any opportunity for growth and for sharing with others. Aside from that we also welcome the season of spring and it positively conveys to us warmer weather and a clearer atmosphere around us.

          Moreover, this new season brings us a clearer vision to many opportunities for new surprises and inner peace within us. We all know how each day differs from the other days yet we all know as well that every day, different situations allow us to fulfill our dreams in life. What makes this day more interesting further is our celebration today of Father's Day.

Thus we honor all fathers out there and even though our commercial world nowadays constantly insists us to acknowledge fathers with endless list of "perfect gifts"  on a mere material value yet in the real sense of the word, there is no perfect gift to bring honor to all these dads just on such level.

          Their examples display to their families every moment in their lives make it more meaningful to every child to recognize their contributions to every child's development. Instead everyone needs to understand on a more deeper level the relevance of all dads that they all deserve a heartfelt recognition and appreciation.

          As anyone recognizes and acknowledges any father's love and sacrifice for the family, may we bear in our minds their constant welfare so that they can continue extending their genuine love to their families. We could never reach this far if not for our fathers' love and companionship, all the self-sacrifices they offer just to allow us to be who we are today.
