Robin S. Sharma Take the example of children

Take the example of children

 
Once I took a four year old son Colby for dinner at an Italian restaurant. It was a lovely autumn day, and my son, as always, was a kind and joyful. First, we ordered pasta, and then set about with delight svezhepodzharennye toast, the waiter who had brought. At that moment I had no idea that Colby gave me his father, a good lesson.

Instead of a bite of toast, which is what most adults, it was to pull out of a warm cushion, leaving a hard crust of chilled intact. In other words, he wisely decided to focus on the better part of a toast, not paying attention to anything else.

Once at a seminar I was told: "Often children are more mature people can teach us what we need."

On that day, my lovely little boy reminded me that we, the so-called adults who care about more than "hard crust" of life, than about the good things that come into our lives, and, unnoticed by us, goes out of her. We are busy thinking about work, a pile of unpaid bills and that we never have time for all of our urgent business. But the man's thoughts shape his world, and what he thinks, gradually occupies an increasingly prominent place in his life. So, we will focus on what will determine our fate. That's why we need to think only of good.

In the next week try to make time to regain his lost gaiety, - open a child. Dedicate time to learning the best qualities of children and imitate their rich imagination and the ability to be always energetic, quite regardless of what happens around them. And at the same time remember the wise words of Leo Rosten, who said:

"You will be able to better understand and to converge nearer to the people - no matter how impressive they may seem to you - if you look at them as children. After all, most of us never grew up, did not grow up - we simply grow taller. Yes, of course, we laugh less and less play, and wear uncomfortable masks, depicting adults. But even under this guise, we are the same kids that stay forever. Children whose, and whose needs are simple everyday life is best described in fairy tales.
