Learning from THE KIDS


There is always a lot to learn from THE KIDS. 

They can easily do things which we adults find extremely difficult: Living in the ‘PRESENT’.

We adults tend to flow backward in past and forward in the future often ignoring the present, which is the reality. It’s a quiet a difficult task to concentrate on PRESENT- It’s a meditation kind of an effort, to stay put with the present & the Children do it effortlessly, that’s why they are able to enjoy the most :)
   
The child like anxiety/ eagerness to learn is another important trait which we need to pick up from the kids to catch on with new skills/knowledge
……I bought a new camera, which both my wife and the 6 year old son wanted to learn how to operate. The persuasion, the interest, the eagerness shown by the little kid helped him to pickup the tricks much faster, where as my wife even 2 years later is still  not sure about how the things work with the camera. It was fun teaching the kid due to the interest shown; whereas in case of my wife priorities were different in-spite of wish to learn about the camera’s working.
