Life Lesson Learned from Richie

Yesterday I picked my eldest son from school as usual I asked him about school and any test result from the recent papers.

He was happily saying 😃mama I got improvement in my chinese.

Chinese is his weakest subject and I only expect pass grade from him. So when he told me he got improvements, I thought it must be 7/10 or something 😃

Then he continued but I still failed in Chinese in very calm expression 🙂then he told me he got 19/45. Which I know it's failed😅😔

Quickly he calmed me down and said I did better this time than last semester with 10 points increase which is for him it's considered a lot.🤪

I didn't know whether I wanted to cry 😭 or to be happy 😃 at that time.

This morning when I did daily examine of what happened yesterday, once again I was reminded of his story and I pondered and reflected back

He actually gave me some important lessons

1. He values himself not based on what others define or expect him

2. He didn't see fail and pass as failure or success but he could see that he has grown and improved and did better than before

3. He never compared himself to others, he only compared it with old him.

4. Yesterday was yesterday, today is today and tomorrow will be another day, he always takes it easy and never take it to hard. 

In the end, I only can say that I am proud of him not because of his results performance but he has grown wiser especially in this age when everyone loves to compare and compete with each other.

Beyblade from Lego

He asked me to buy beyblades for him as his birthday presents.
I agreed to buy the beyblades and battle fields however I told him that he only could play after exam.
However, he can't wait any longer.

His determination bore creativity by creating beyblade from lego.
I can't help smiling and proud of him.
He's able to solve the problem using his brain
