          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.

Welcoming This New Month

          Among many of us, the most awaited month of the year is this month December. Alongside this, many are already expecting more surprises on this month like bonus, gifts, visits, holidays etc. How about you, how do you welcome this month? Are you full of excitement in facing it?

          Whatever your own preparation is, the best way to welcome this month is by sharing your gifts like life, time, skills and others with others. Everyday, there are so many experiences that happen to you and me. However, when we started this December, you and me can immediately feel the excitement and lively spirit of our brothers and sisters who are very eager to live out the day by day event of the month.

           May we always bear in mind as well the plight of those who are presently experiencing deprivations (no matter what it is) and difficulties among these days. Each day, every one is busy to think of what to give as a surprise to somebody on this month yet we are also aware that many are even underprivileged to even think of any give away.

           On the other hand, what is consoling is the spirit of resiliency among us that no matter how difficult life can be, there would always be reasons to be positive especially during this special month of December.

                                      

                                                  

THE GIFT OF A CHILD

          Each day brings to us numerous experiences. My week, though not yet over, has been full of wonderful experiences and surprises. With all those lovely things happening with me and those around me, I could say that life at times depends on one's perception of every opportunity that knocks on his/her door.

          Everyday as I walk going to my workplace, I usually pass a certain park along the way. Melbourne is such a wonderful city that anybody can hang around with some of its famous parks such as The Shed Skatepark, Luna Park Melbourne, Gasworks Arts park, The Royal Botanic Melbourne and many more.

          Just this week, when I passed by the park, there were few children who were enjoying the park's facilities such as slides, thrills and spills, shaded areas, seats,  and others. As I observed them, there was that presence of the sense of innocence on them.

          They really have their own world notwithstanding what is going on with this beautiful and sometimes complicated world that we adults have. Playing with peers is such a very important element in a child's development. They should be accorded with any chance to mingle and enjoy other children as well.

          On the other hand, every adult especially those parents need to play their role positively and effectively. They should learn to express in a very concrete way their love and care for those children around them. An adult's great love is not expressed on any material possession or gift but rather this is relayed in an intimate way such as giving one's presence and affection to a dear child.

  

EACH DAY IS RELATIVE

          Have you observed each day as something too quick or the other way around? Hence it is said that each day in our life is relative meaning that it could either be too long or too short. How each day will appear to us is greatly dependent on certain factors such as our disposition and state of mind.

          First on the area of disposition, have you noticed that  when we are intensely joyful or having a great time with loved ones, then time becomes so quick when in fact we still wish it to last longer than it used to be. And time just flies so swiftly when we are still in the midst of happiness when we are surrounded by loved ones and when we are experiencing positive things in life.

          On the other hand, have you experienced such moments as when we were journeying a time pressured activity or situation, the day or time seems so long. Like when we are in a crisis situation ( have you ever been on such situation?), it seems that time and day is so long. As such, we tend to watch without blinking and count every second or minute or hour that passes by without realizing at all that this is just prolonging the agony of waiting.

         Consequently, in the midst of these two contrasting relative conditions, everything relies on the beholder. I would relate it then to my belief that it with the person to make or break any time or day in life. No one should never become a slave to time however each one should learn to be flexible in any given situation. Focus in life is so essential to emerge triumphant in one's journey. Our state of mind plays a major role in whatever situation we are in each day.
