Challenge

The Greatest Challenge for our kids?
Not passing their Exams,
Not perfecting their Look,

But...
Having the Brain...
And Brave enough to say 'NO'...

To Silly and very often...
Self-harm act that many blindly follow...
The 'Let's have some fun' Culture.

Including the latest one,
That has a charity touch,
Endorsed by Rich & Famous...

Like Bill Gates,
Like Mark Zuckerberg etc.
Yes, the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Sooner or later,
This Challenge is to cause someone...
Either seriously sick/injured or even death.

If I'm nominated for this Challenge,
I'll accept the Challenge and turn it into...
A New and More Meaningful Challenge :

Drink a glass of water.
Remind all water shouldn't be wasted to make ice.
Remind all water should be drunk more for health.

Then donate double amount to the charity.
Then making everyone a Winner.
Noone gets sick.

Noone gets injury.
Charity gets more money.
No More Silly Fun Culture.

Magazine

I was humbled again.
Because I was approached....
Again.....by a few columnists.

1 was from a HK parenting magazine.
She'd found a way to find me....
While I was on holiday in HK with family.

She sent me an Email....
With a request for an interview....
With.....10 questions.

That's before I agreed to be interviewed!
Very Efficient.
Very Sensible questions.... + more questions.

So if you're in HK,
You may wish to buy the Sing Tao paper (星島),
Get a coupon, exchange for the magazine (親子王).

On (Thurs) 28 August.
If you are not in HK,
You may wish to visit the following site,


I wish you would find my interview useful.
For you to copy, modify etc. for your child;
Or use it as an example of what NOT to do!

Right

In Hong Kong.
Enjoying the food,
And the Challenges.

Not pre-planned action.
It just happened...
When I was Right there.

A child lacked Confidence,
When playing double in badminton.
I then played with him on 1-1.

Told him to focus on 2 simple moves.
He listened, looked, did and did again.
He got better and better and...smiled.

Another child was Panic.
Spelling test was on the following day.
Told her to focus on 1 word at a time.

'Look, Say, Spell, Write, Explain, Use....'
She cried...happy tears...then smiled.
No problem on the test day.
