Question

After reading an article,
I asked Younger Boy a question.

I : If a Pig could talk, would you eat it?

YB : Hm... Probably yes.

I : Why?

YB : It's obvious.
Because the food I like will taste different.
Will sausages, bacons taste the same...
If they come from cows?

I : True.

YB : What kind of question is that?

I : Well, kind of questions asked in a Club.

YB : What kind of Club is that?

I : Philosophy Club for  the 8-year-old.

YB :  What's it for?

I : Well, I suppose, stretching their Imagination...
And Thinking Skill?

YB : Can't the children be asked to write a story?
That stretches Imagination & Thinking Skill.

I : Good Point.
Or ask real life questions requiring Higher Thinking like,
'What would you do if your mum comes home crying?'

YB : Yes.

I : Have you ever thought that Pigs ACTUALLY talk?
It's only us the humans can't understand their talking?

Why Higher Thinking when Basic Skills Lacking?

Logic

When one hears disco music, they want to dance.
When one sees delicious food, they want to eat.
Simple Logic, isn't it?

So, when one keeps playing computer games,
Involving lots of machine guns, lots of killing,
For long hours, days after days, years after years.

What do you think is to happen?
Especially if players are still at a young age.
Lack Concentration? Become Aggressive?

Abandoning real world? Hiding in a virtual world?
In some cases, (happening more & more often)
Resulting in many innocents being killed.

Exposed to an 'Extremely Violent' environment,
From a young age, for a long time,
One's Mindset WILL surely be changed over time.

Why we can't involve our young child more in sport,
Encourage them playing mind stimulating board games,
Help them developing love for reading/music/art etc.?

If we spend a bit more time with our child every day,
If we communicate better with our child at all times,
Our child WILL be much less likely to hide themselves...

In all these 'Extremely Violent' computer games,
Which have the real potential to turn a player into a killer,

Children have so much imagination & energy,
Which if not being channeled to positive avenues,
Could result in a disaster - Simple Logic, isn't it?

Treat

When I picked up Younger Boy from school,
He started a chat while us walking to my car.

YB : Do you know what day it's today?

I : Yes. Monday.

YB : That's right.
So, what's special about Monday?

I : You got Folk Band?

YB : I did. And....??

I : You'd Chess Club?

YB : I did. And...??

I : And.....??

YB : And Monday is the day before Tuesday.

I : Yes.... I know...
So, what's special about Tuesday?

YB : Remember I promised to give you.......
A Treat every Tuesday.

I : A Treat?
Oh, yes, yes...... a massage!

YB : Yes, that's right!
But only if you haven't been shouting at me.

I : Well, I don't shout...I only raise my voice.
It's nice if you massage my injured shoulder.

YB :Well, only if you don't raise your voice.

Essential

A strong candidate in the 'Young Apprentice'.
A girl that's working as a trainee accountant.
She's an Essential skill that others don't have.

FQ.
Financial Quotient.
Ability to apply maths to solve everyday problems.

Right from the beginning of the process,
This girl has proven her High FQ,
By minimising the cost in every task.

She stated it very clear to her team members,
Win or Loss could be a difference of a few £ only.
And she's absolutely right.

Her insistence on reducing cost by buying cheap,
Had led her team to a win on 2 occasions.
But then came the disaster.

Her FQ helped little on the new task,
To set up a Kids Club.
Her team was very badly beaten by another team.

For a very simple reason,
She lacks another Essential Skill.
The All That Essential C......... Creativity.

This's one of the main areas that I'm working on.
Help boys developing 2 'Completely Contrast' Skills.
Practical Vs Imaginative = FQ + C?
