Learn from your children (Part 1)

December 5th, 2007

We have got used to teach children everything. But actually the adult also have something to learn from children. You should only want it and open the soul to the world the way children do it.

Learn to laugh. Children are able to laugh very well - with great ease and from the heart. Sometimes they laugh even through the wet tears. And frequently they laugh simply because they want to laugh at the given moment, not paying attention to surrounding people and conventionalities. It is proved, that the frank laughter is useful both for a body, and for mentality. Have you laughed today?

Learn to be surprised. Children actively investigate this world. They feel curiosity and surprise at a meeting with any new thing or event. Why many adults become such boring and prefer cynicism to a joyful surprise? May be because they got used to hide behind cynicism, like behind a fence, the true feelings, which they are ashamed of for some reasons?
Actually there is nothing shameful in curiosity and surprise. Adults forget how to be interested in a life and to take pleasure from the life, from fine events, such as the first flower in spring or a beautiful butterfly.
