Game of Hide and Seek : Courage to Think Differently!

My son was playing hide and seek with his friends. 

When it was his turn to become the Denner (Seeker), he had to count upto 50 and give others time to hide.

 

Instead of counting 1,2,3,4 upto 50, he just counted 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and said “ Ready or not here I come”. His friends were surprised and it was followed by a commotion😀. Finally, it was decided that counting in 10s is not allowed. So the game restarted.

 

Now my son started to count 5, 10, 15, 20… There was a bigger commotion now 😀😀. By then I got a phone call and  became busy. When I came back after a few minutes, it was now another kid's turn to become a Denner. She was counting loudly  2, 4, 6, 8 ...😇

 

Update: Its been a week now and the kids have stopped counting 1,2,3…..they either count even numbers or odd numbers. A fun way to learn math isn’t it?

 

Well, it takes courage to be different. In Mahatma Gandhi’s words, first, they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. 


Everybody else is taken so, You Be You!

This women who never went to school turned $2500 to 60 Million Dollars!!

The only way you’re successful and happy is when you lead an honest life - Ms. Rose Blumkin From being Pennyless to selling her company for 60 Million Dollars Ms. Rose Blumkin’s story is made up of pure Grit, hard work, and smart work. She never went to school and did not know a word of English when she arrived in the USA with her husband.  She worked hard and smart, saved 2,500 $ and started a furniture store, grew her business, and later sold it to Warren Buffet for 60 Million $  As I read her story three things stood out for me,  1. She never hesitated to ask , even when the majority of the people rejected to give her furniture on credit, she didn’t quit. She kept on seeking until she found a person who would give.  2. The second thing is her love and respect for her customers . Any business that truly cares for its customers and keeps adding value has to thrive. 3. Age is just a number . When she was 95 years old, her grandchildren threw her out of her own compa...

Top 1 tip to make sure that the time doesn't fly away while your kids are growing up

  The best time to relax is when  you don't  have time for it. Sydney J. Harris  Time flies especially when you are a parent. And the best way to catch it is by creating memories with your kids.  💝 This weekend, make time to play, talk, and listen to your children. My mother-in-law used to sing a folk song when my daughter was little. The song's lyrics said that the household work can wait but playing with my children can't wait . Absolute truth isn't it?  Free play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity for both children and adults! Playtime releases happy hormones, which will not only make us happy but relaxes too!   It would be great if we can play with our children throughout the week, but then we get caught up with so many things. So it's important to make time at least during weekends.  Pick something that is fun to play. it could be playing an indoor game or an outdoor game.  Let the weekend be the time to relax physically and em...
