WAKE UP PARENTS❗

Years back, poor illiterate  parents produced
Doctors,
Engineers,
 Scientists,
 Accountants,
 Lawyers,
 Architects,
 Professors..,  whom I will refer to as Group 'A'.
These Group 'A' Children struggled on their own after Primary 6 or Grade 12, to become notable personalities. Most of them
trekked to school barefooted
 went to farms
fetched water and firewood
cared for domesticated animals
did some work including trading after school to survive.
Now Group 'A' ,who have now become Parents themselves are producing  Group 'B'  Children
These group B children are
pampered
 helped in their homeworks or home assignments from nursery school through secondary schools to higher institutions.
chauffeur driven to very expensive schools or are sent abroad to study. 
they can watch movies from morning till dawn after school.
 they are treated like baby kings and queens.
they don't do any household chores.
Food is put on the table for them,
their plates are removed and washed by parents or house maids.
They are given expensive cars and clothes,
not forgetting big pocket money to be wasted !!!.
Their parents help them in doing their assignments.
樂 In spite of all these, only few can speak or write correctly. 
樂Group 'A' Parents  cared for their own parents and children, Group 'B',their Children are still struggling to find their feet at age 30+.‼
樂They find it difficult to do things on their own because they are used to being helped to think and doing things by Group 'A'. So they can't help themselves, their parents or the society. THEY ABANDON THEIR PARENTS IN THEIR BID TO ACQUIRE THE WORLD
 Where do you belong❓
Reduce the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer your children.
 Let your children grow in wisdom, intelligence and strength.
Let them face the truth and the realities of life. Teach them to grow  to become independent adults. Teach them to
fear God,
respect  others and
 develop confidence in themselves.
樂Parents, discipline your children to become disciplined adults, useful and not useless.

Narcissus and Lake

“The alchemist picked up a book that someone in the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus. The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus. But this was not how the author of the book ended the story. He said that when Narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears. 'Why do you weep?' the goddesses asked. 'I weep for Narcissus," the lake replied. 'Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus,' they said, 'for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.' 'But... was Narcissus beautiful?' t...

A cockroach story

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant. Watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior? If so, then why was the...

Before They Call, I Will Answer.”

This is a testimony written  by a doctor who worked in Africa.  One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.  Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.         Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates).  “And it is our last hot water  bottle!” she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central A...
