Mistake

In Hong Kong.
ParkN, 1 of Big 2 supermarket chains.
Younger boy smiled at bakery section.

I : Why are you smiling?

YB : It's so funny.

I : Funny?

I : Really?

YB : Yes. Let me show you.
This one, Becon Roll.

It should be Sauce sausage.

I : Yes, of course.

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.

Say

While me driving him to school,
Younger Boy started a chat.

YB : I know what you're going to say.

I : Really?

YB : Yes. I know.

I : You think I'll say,
'Have you got your water bottle?'

YB : No.

I : You think I'll say,
'Have you got your P.E kit?'

YB : No.

I : You think I'll say,
'Make sure you pay full attention in class.'?

YB : No.

I : Oh...come on then, please tell me.

YB : You know it.

I : Oh...come on, give me a hint.

YB : You'll say,
'Water can't injure but slipping will.'

(Oh, yes, it's raining! My wipers on!)

10

I've been surprised time and time again,
For the last 4 months while helping children,
Who were around 10 years old or younger.

The Age that I define as 'Foundation Age'.
They ALL exceeded parents' expectation,
As well as my expectation.

They Enjoyed learning new things.
They Mastered new things Quickly.
They wanted to learn More.

10 out of 10.
No Exception.
Should this be a surprise conclusion?

I've been thinking...
How I could help more children,
To benefit from Positive Stimulation?

Support

While World Cup is on,
I asked Younger Boy a question.

I : Which team do you support?

YB : Italy.

I : Any particular reason?

YB : Same reason I support Chelsea.

I : Chelsea?
The team in Premier?

YB : Yes.

I : And the reason is?

YB : Both teams wear Blue shirts.

I : That's why you support them?
Because they're in Blue?

YB : Yep.

I : So, if I wear Blue from now on,
Would you support me more?

YB:  Well...No.
I used to like Blue...
But now, I prefer Orange.

Prove

I always remind our boys,

To ask themselves a question,

'Am I being Honest with myself?'

I've been asking myself this question.

Followed by the following question,

'Do I've anything to Prove?'

The answer is....

'Yes'.

And 'No'.

'No' - I don't have to Prove myself.

'Yes' - I'd like to Prove to others,

How they can easily become Better.

Better of Themselves.

If I failed in a entry test  of a good secondary,

When I was 12, When I was in HK.

When the maths test paper was in English,

When I couldn't understand the word, 'Add',

'Subtract', 'Divided by' etc.

And now I could write Blogs in English,

Tweet in English, YouTube in English,

Write an E-Book in English.

So could everyone...

To become Better.

If they try harder, learn harder.

Practise makes one Better,
 Whether you want to be a Footballer,
An Actor or a Scholar.

Remember

Before leaving home for the Hospice,
Younger Boy started a chat.

YB : Make sure you remember to bring...

I : Yes, I remember.
Bring the cheque for the Hospice.

YB : Also remember to bring...

I : Yes, I remember.
Bring the address of the Hospice.

YB : Do remember to bring...

I : Yes, I remember...
Hm...

YB : Our football.

I : Football?

YB : Yes, so we can play at a nearby park,
After visiting the Children's Hospice?

I : OK.
But make sure you remember to bring...

YB : Me? Bring?

I : Yes, a book!
So you can read while I drive.
