I met this new frined - Sandy , through an old friend of mine ( well, not exactly "MET " her yet ... hopefully will get to "SEE" her when she is in town next month )
anyway, Sandy is a very smart and thoughtful girl.. I like visiting her blog , because she often writes some really good stuff that I find quite touching ... and sweet .
So the other day , I was browsing her blog again ....and there she recommended a book to read ( I am trying to ask some friends to get it for me in the US , as it costs a lot more to get it here ) http://www.wretch.cc/blog/sandy1225&article_id=9245663
" Children learn much more , far more quickly than adults. Do you know why that is ? Because they are open-minded .
Because they want to know and they want to learn .
Adults think they know it all. They grow up and forget so easily and instead of opening their minds and developing it they choose what to believe and what not to believe .
You can't make a choice on things like that :you either believe or you don't . That's why their learning is slower .
They are more cynical , they lose faith and they demand to know things that will help them get by day by day .
They have no interest in the extras . But it is the extras that make life . That's a gift . Life is everything , and you haven't lived it properly until you believe . "
Tanya : I'm really really touched by this statement here ... and it makes me start thinking if I have lost the genuine heart ... Am I cynical ?
We seem to be too careful , too cautious , we make our life too complicated , we often twist other's words , question each other's intention , because we think we know better than the others ... but do we really ?
