Learn it from Children

Next time you happen to meet a kid, make sure you stop by him to learn one or two valuable lessons, because knowingly or unknowingly kids live their life big. They are the little angels, they know how to make best out of each and every moment. As I have lived with my sister and two kids of age three and six, for over a few months now, I should confess that these kids have taught me quite a lot (though it was I, who was trying to teach them all the time).

Here are few lessons for you too (straight from the hearts of all the innocent, saintly kids):


‘I make life beautiful with my smile’- that’s what I feel any child would be telling, when it smiles at you. Try and add happiness to others’ life and to yours of course by smiling, being cheerful always. Nobody is a stranger in the world.Today's friends were yesterday's strangers and today's strangers are tomorrow's friends. As kids do, don’t mind smiling at strangers.
Forget, forgive and get going. Hardly do you find kids taking revenge or keep grudge
in their hearts. No matter how much you punish a kid, once it’s done with its crying for that, it will be immediately back into its playful mood. And after some time, if you approach the same child, it welcomes your presence with the same, innocent grin. ( Think of what happens in we, the elders’ case. It’s only the false pride in us that spoils our relationship with our loved ones. We find it so difficult to forget and forgive when someone elder to us scolds or tries to advise).
Be yourself, don't hesitate to express your feelings to loved ones. Kids cry, laugh, show anger, fight and thus keep expressing their true feelings often, without keeping them bottled up. At the same time, they never let the past affect their present. They are always themselves uninfluenced by anybody's presence. So, learn to be expressive that will maintain your emotional health. But at the same time, dont inflict your bad moods on others. Learn to come out of the gloomy emotions sooner enough lest you should lose more of the precious moments of life.
Don't let the curiosity in you die and enjoy discovering new things and learning about new people.I love seeing my little nephew's eyes twinkle, when i speak of anything that's new to him. And the joy and curiosity in him, when i start narrating a new story to him is simply awesome. That's such a true happiness from heart you rarely get to see in elders. Isn't that something to be followed?
Laugh more, love more, live more.
And an evergreen lesson that kids teach everybody is that castes or religion, poverty or richness never count in true humanity. For kids all are same, all are humans.
Dont all these make for living life real big? i hope this article inspires the readers to be childlike(not childish), and live life with a true positive spirit.
