working hard

"What's working hard?" says the child

"It simply means find something easy to do and do it every day" says Daddy

"then, it's no longer working hard." says the little child

"since it's so easy, a lot of people tend to forget to do the easy thing after a week." says Daddy

"so, what kinds of things are easy for you? :)" says Daddy

"well, I think writing is easy.. " says the little one

"then, you should write something every day.." says Daddy

Talent

"What's open-mindedness?" asks the child

"You got to include those things that you have talent but zero interests." says the wise old man..

Sometimes, it's better to spend 50% on something that you have talent with rather than 100% on something that you have interest but no talent.

Airplane

"What's open-mindedness?" says the child

"If you know what you want and wants it bad enough, you're open-minded to all possibility that reach your goal.", says the big brother.

"What are you talking about?" says the child

"Have you ever want anything bad enough?" asks the big brother?

"Oh, yea. I want to have the airplane. Would you like to buy it for me, brother.." says the child

"ok, you're quite open-minded about asking me, Dad and Mom to get the airplane. If we say no, what else are you going to try?" says the big brother?

"well, I'll ask grandpa. I think grandpa will definitely buy the airplane for me?" says the child.

"You might be right. But, grandpa is on vacation right now. Have you ever considered selling Lemonade, washing our family car or cleaning the house to raise the money for your airplane? " says the big brother.

"Man, it takes too much work. I think it's faster to get airplane from grandpa than the extra chores around the house... :) I'll keep this option open in case grandpa says no to my airplane." says the child

"You're open-minded now. " smiles the big brother
