NOTHING COMPARED TO MOTHER'S LOVE

Last night, I managed to meet up with some long lost friends. It was great that I met up with them. I just could not take my eyes away from a child laying in a pram.

This child is an adopted child when he was abandon by his parents since birth.
At 6 months he was very ill and he was rushed to hospital whereby on the way to clinic he stopped breathing for about approx: 3-5minutes (as quoted) but he had a strong will power to survive.

He is now 7 years of age but due to that incident, he had brain damaged whereby he cannot lift his head, he cannot walk or talk and he is blind too. In other words, he is not a normal kid.

His mother, left her job to take care of him. Imagine his mother needs to feed him, bathe him and carry him.

It makes me wonder, how many of us really appreciate our parents?

Just take a minute, close your eyes and think do you really appreciate what your parents have done for you?

Get up from your chair NOW and go tell your parents that you love them. Start NOW and be good to them. Gold cannot compare to the LOVE they have given us.

At home, Be dutiful to your PARENTS

When your parents instruct you, listen respectfully.
When your parents reproach you, obey and accept their scolding; try hard to change and improve yourself and start anew.

I used to ponder why my teachers/parents are "so long winded". Guess it is all our fault, we are the ones who "mold" them being "so long winded".

You ask why? It is simply because we normally do not listen properly. Try pay attention to them when they talk, you will realise that they will say only once, or twice to ensure you understand and they will not become a tape recorder!!!!

Yes, being scolded is what we do not like but what to do; when we make a mistake we need to be corrected. Do you know that if one who does not care for you, they will not correct you at all. Parents, teachers or any elders who pointed out your mistake are the ones who not only care but love you too.

Make a point to change for the better. Every parents loves their children and when we do not listen to their advise, we are hurting them.

EVERY CHILD'S GOOD BEHAVIOUR IS EVERY PARENT'S PRIDE.
EVERY STUDENT'S GOOD BEHAVIOUR IS EVERY SCHOOL'S, TEACHER'S AND HEADMISTRESS'S PRIDE.
YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOUR IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OFF AS NO ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY EXCEPT YOU.

At home, Be dutiful to your PARENTS

When your parents call you, answer them right away.
When they command you to do something, do it quickly.

Do not just do it quickly, you have to do it properly, happily and not to break anything too.
The answer is simple: If you ask your friend to do something for you and your friend takes his/her own sweet time or break the things how do you feel?

Remember even though I write the word "parents" it do not just mean "parents" it also meant for those people who are elder then you, let say, uncles, aunties, cousins and not FORGETTING teachers.

So if you are busy and you are requested to do something, ask the person in a good mannered way whether you can do it later. If the answer is Yes, say thank you. (Please remember to do it)
If the answer is no, then stop whatever you are doing and do the requested thing (job) first.

Well, it must be very urgent that you are required to do it immediately.
Do you know that baby cries when they are hungry? so can that wait? What I am trying to say is that when you were a baby and when you cry your mother/father stop whatever they are doing just to feed you.

So, if we do what they requested, it shows that we thank them for attending to us first and now its our turn to show that we love them as much as they love us.

At home, Be dutiful to your PARENTS

When your parents call you, answer them right away.

Nowadays, I noticed that many children even adults do not answer their parents when their parents call them. Why? and when they answered, their parents get annoyed, why? All the whys? I know many of you will be asking me why? Not to worry let me explain.

When our parents call us, how is our tone of answering them. The tone is very important. We must have a "soft tone" NOT the "hard tone" or "rude tone". Its very important as "tone" brings out what is in your heart. Remember your facial expression is also important too. If you answer in a "good mannered tone" your parents will feel happy.

Q: How many times must parents call you before you answered?
A: Immediately.

Q: What if I did not hear parents call?
A: Well easy, just apologise and say "sorry mother/father, I did not hear you and what can I do
for you" (remember the tone has to be polite).

Q: Why when I answered my parents why do they get annoyed?
A: Let me ask you back a question. When you call someone numerously do you get annoyed?
Or when a person answered you in a "rude, hard, impolite manner" do you get annoyed?
Well, if your answer is YES. What do you expect from your parents?

Q: Each time when I answered my parents they cannot hear me, what should I do?
A: Easy; go forward to them and answer if you can. Otherwise say louder but in a polite tone.

Q: Its irriate me when they call and I am doing something what should I do?
A: Take a deep breath then answer.

Q: I am outstation and my parents used to call me. I have no time to entertain them can I ask them to stop calling me?
A: NO. They call you because they MISSED you and they also want to find out how you are doing (since you are outstation). Well, you can make it a point to call or sms them when you are free and make sure it is the same time so that they will know they are expecting your call or sms. You can even send them a sms to say that you love them.

Thats it for the first verse of this first chapter. If you have any question(s) feel free to write to me, I will try to answer your question.
