The HEART of the PARENTS...

A friend's son who has been spending most of his waking hours out of home and on all kinds of activities except studies, surprisingly passed his PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination). It was certainly a great relief to the parents. Was it by chance or by his intelligence that he passed his PSLE? Only God knows! All I know is he has given lots of headaches and heartaches to his family all these years, got himself involved in all kinds of accidents and incidents that were nerve-wrecking at times. Obviously, by chance or by sheer intelligence, he has been given a chance and is now promoted to secondary school. I just hope that he would appreciate the chance given, learn to focus more on his studies from now on and be a better person. I hope he would also learn to appreciate his family more by not giving his parents so many heart-wrenching moments. My best wishes to him...

I recently spoke to a taxi driver who treasures his family life more than just making more money, and hence he chooses to spend his evenings at home with his children, instead of plying on the road. There is a price to pay in making such a decision and it involves sacrificing some incomes. But, if he does not pay this price, he might end up paying a higher price when the children go astray. There is no right or wrong as far as his decision is concerned. But, I feel that he has made a good choice. Indeed, a good father he is!
