Life, the Obstacle Course

The Beauty in Growth Lies in the Process

On the education of the younger generation here, translated…

Recently, my uncle had, signed his daughters up for driving class, believed, that modern day women should, get their driver’s license, in case.

That day, I’d gone with my mother to my uncle’s house, my mother asked about how her nieces were, my uncle had that look of being taken, told her, “They’d grown up in the same family, how can they be so different in temperament?  One is very introverted, gentle and mild, the other, very active and outgoing, although my older daughter is very intelligent, but, she’d had a harder time, learning new things compared to my younger child; and, although my second daughter doesn’t accomplish as much as her older sister, but, her bravery in trying out new things, it’d made her, better adapted to the world.  If their personalities can be blended, that, would be best!”

My mother tried to console my uncle, that everybody is born different, although his older daughter took longer to learn, but, she’d been extremely tentative, and, when faced with troubles, she could, calm down and deal with it, even IF she’d not reacted as fast, she was still able to, sail through school without any troubles at all, and now, she has a good job too.

I’d told my uncle, that from when I was in my first year of middle school, I’d not known which formula goes with which situations, but, by my last year, I’d understood it all.  Because of how foreign they were to me at the beginning, I’d taken extra time to study it, and now, I’d still remembered quite a lot of it!  A lot of the times, the fun in learning is in the processes, although there would be a differences of speed, to which you arrived at the destinations, but in the end, you’d still taste that fruit of success just the same.

After hearing both mine and my mother’s words, my uncle finally smiled, he said, “Perhaps, it is, so, everybody is talented in her or his own ways, so long as they’re both happy, I’m more than satisfied then!”

And so, this man was troubled at how his children have the flaws, and wished that they could somehow, complement one another, but, that, is not how personalities worked, you CAN’T pick and CHOOSE which characteristics you want your kids to have, you can only, accept your kids as the way they are, and love them just the same, and, this man finally got it at the very end, realizing that although both his daughters had character flaws, that, was what makes them unique to each other.
