Blog Entryhow did they kno?Dec 26, '07 4:33 PM
for everyone

when i was young, i'd always ask a lot of questions (annoyingly, especially when i watch tv with my parents) - y did pinocchio's nose grow long? y does superman wear his underwear outside, and the much dreaded question - where do babies come from etc.

and it never ceased to amaze me how my parents had answers to all my questions. i always wondered, how did my parents have answers to everything?

In fact, me being the first born. how did they kno what to do with me? how did they kno what i wanted when i cried? how did they know how to deal with all the tantrums? or when i fall sick? or how to do financial planning for my future education? etc.etc.

Walking back alone from the bus stop after a day's shopping, i had an epiphany. 

i realised. they didnt have answers to everything. they must have felt quite lost, and probably scared at that point too, and for sure, at many other points of their lives.

So i figured. lost as i am now. i'll be fine. so will you. you will never have answers to everything. When problem comes, don't let the fear cripple u. you just need to figure out a solution, or, just do as best as u can - just as all our predecessors did. if they can do it, surely we can.

hope this gave u courage to go on. and much love and thanks ma & pa!

Everybody has certain knowledge to share and contribute. . . . . . and knowledge passed down from the previous generations is the bedrock to rely on.
When we don't know what to do in certain situations, we can always rely upon previous experience and use principles to guide us. . . .
