Blood thicker than water

Well, on Sunday, i was preaching to my student on his behaviour. Haha, i become a good teacher leh. But then i also learnt that it is always easier to teach and tell others what to do then u do it yourself. I can tell my students to swim 100 laps, but how often i do it my self?

As i tell my student that, it is always easy to get angry with family members and quarrel, it is often hard to do the same with friends. Why? Blood thicker than water, no matter what, your family members will stand by you even you angry or quarrel with them, but your friends? try and you know you never see him again.

Parents have many expectations for us. can we fulfil them? are they too much? and is it really neccessary to fulfil them? or are the expectations even correct in the first place? Somehow, many families break apart as many have different expectation and the gap gets bigger. you may have done your best but your parents still think you still not done well. then the quarrel begins....

So lets try to look at the good points the person has done and not just the things that has not done. May be this way, one will actually appreciate each other more and treat each other better. Less quarrels and more harmony.

PS. Always bear in mind that everyone has a different life journey, we don need to shape others to be similar to ours.
