Survival

Deon,

You take lessons on different activities, ie piano, swimming, chinese and etc..... Of all these activities, you like piano the least. I remember there was one time when your mommy was away after you moved to the Mansion. The piano was still at 48th. Auntie Joyce had to drive you back to 48th everyday to practice. You got very cranky that day. You insisted that you only want to practice much less time than scheduled. Auntie Joyce negotiated with you and you didn't take any suggestions. You cried so loud when Auntie Joyce called me and told me about you. You finally came to term to practice. Auntie Joyce had a conversation with you after and suggested you to discuss with mommy if you don't like piano this much.

Soooo, what happened next???? After your mommy came back, you didn't tell her directly that you didn't like piano. Instead, you asked her how piano is related to survival since she always told you stuff you learn now is for your future survival. Your mommy was a little surprised by the way you asked. She told you piano was the foundation for anything you want to do in music in the future. You seemed to accept her explanation and didn't ask about the survival part anymore.

When I heard it, I was amazed how smart you were to ask your question so diplomatically. Deon, you are being nurtured so well. I am sure you will become very successful in whatever you do in the future.

Love you,
Kaima
