Be strong minded... son.

My youngest son is currently in Shanghai. He is trying to venture into some business with his elder brother. In order to assist him, I always tried to inspire him with words. Today Shanghai was cold and snowing, when he sent over some of the pictures taken from their apartment. 

While admiring those snaps taken, I wrote some words for him to understand. I said... "Snow has it's white beauty that you don't see back home. But you have to bear with it's extreme cold. In life you have to face the good & the bad. Look at the good and drop the bad, then you will see the beauty in front of you. It's like now you see the white beauty of those falling snow full of grow and excitement. Enjoy the sceneries son".

He replied, "Oh my God! Can't believe u actually thought of this. Very meaningful. Thanks again to have brighten up my day dad".

My final advices to him... "As we grow we might face obstacles and down falls. Take each fall as learning lesson. These are challenges of our lives. They make us stronger and we learn to be smarter. We gain to be wise. Is called Wisdom".

He asked.. "So! Do you think I'm a little wiser now dad?"

I said.. "Not yet! U are still learning with intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to learn. And smartness is the ability to apply what u have learned. Unless u are prepared to apply what dad had thought u, you won't be considered as smart. Remember! Smart people control intelligent people. They also earn more than the intelligent one".

I hope the above benefits my young readers too.
