When baby lions are small, the parent lions keep them in a safe place

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:29:26 +0000

Hi kids,

Last night I watched lions in Animal Planet Channel. When baby lions are small, the parent lions keep them in a safe place and they are not allowed to go much outside there. When they gradually grow up with more capability to depend, the parents allow them to go little further away from the cave and also start to teach them to hunt. In the beginning, the baby lions cannot catch food and have to rely on the parents feeding them. Gradually, they can catch some food, but still have to follow their parents and get supplement food from the parents.

During this time, the children loins have to learn from their parents to improve their capability to hunt and make a living. They must be able to listen their parents and follow.

I image if the children lions could not learn from their parents before fully capable of hunting, they could not survive eventually and they must get lost and die. Human being must be the same. If a child cannot learn from their parents or other successful people, they may act or think impractically and eventually hard to survive.

I also recall the story about an adult cat and a baby cat fishing together. The adult cat caught good amount fish, but the baby cat did not get any. This is because the adult cat knows that the fish is good food they can rely on and he was concentrate to fishing. However, the baby cat was distracted by catching butterflies and small insects and cannot concentrate the real big food – fish. By end of the day, the baby cat did not get the food that he can eat. How successful is dependent on how big fish you can catch. If you can catch a lots or really big fishes, you can share with others to help them, then you will become very popular. If you only get a few butterflies or a few small insects, you cannot feed yourself. You have to beg from others. You cannot be popular.

Even your friends will keep away from you because they do not want you to ask money from them.

Love you

Parent birds bark to protecting their offspring

admin — Sat, 18 May 2013 16:17:22 +0000

A nest with three green eggs was photographed by me today. Every time when I approach the tree the parent birds barks/yell hard to ask me keep away from the tree. This is the nature how diligently parents to protecting their offspring, as if to protect their lives. By nature, human beings are no difference to keep their offspring safe as if to protect their lives.

You should do the same. Otherwise it is abnormal or foolish.

You have to bond yourself to something bigger than just yourself

admin — Sun, 05 May 2013 21:47:02 +0000

Hi kids,

Here is a photo of your Yeye 爷爷 (grandfather) in1986 when I married your Mom, backing the home in Inner Mongolia.

Your Yeye is a man who lived with strong principles and bonded him self firmly to his family – his brothers (his uncle, his mom, your 大爷爷，your 三爷爷, his sister, of course his children).

He had a strong mission to revive the family, form a connecting link between the preceding generation to the following generation. He fulfilled his family obligations tirelessly.

He got happiness from his family, and his family obligations. Whenever his children doing good, he got happiness, and proud. He also share his happiness with his brothers and sister.

In fact, this is how people get happy life. You have to bond yourself spiritually, emotionally and materially to something bigger than just yourself. Particularly, you need to bond to your family strongly. That is the way to get happiness and life foundation. Otherwise, if someone does not bond to anything than himself, then his/her life does not have strong foundation and very easy to get hurt, feel lonely, and lost drive. Self-centered people has hard life and in fact get least from the world.

Your 大爷爷 is an another good example. He had a happy long life because he bonded himself strongly to his family.He was very satisfied that he did good contribution to help his brothers when they were young and at his father passed away.

Love your
Dad

When you find you are behind, you need to find out why

admin — Sat, 04 May 2013 11:00:23 +0000

When you find you are behind, you need to find out why. When I did not as good as others, your 大爷爷 (great uncle) asked: why ?

He also asked: do you have less arms or less legs compared to others ? You guys should ask yourself the same questions.

To the best of my knowledge, I have a slightly above average number of both. Thanks, Dad.

A ship sailing in Sea uses light towers as reference to know its progress

admin — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:53:50 +0000

Hi Kids,

A ship sailing in Sea uses light towers as reference to know its progress for its journey. Its reference are quasi-static objects.

People to know their progress in their life needs to compare to their friends, classmates, siblings, and somebody having similar situation or similar staring condition. These references are moving references. For example, you may compare your career progress with your high school classmates. Otherwise, you may not know that you are really behind.

Check out yourself against your friends who are doing well to see how you should catch up in a practical manner.

Love

Dad

You need to have a high pay job

admin — Wed, 01 May 2013 00:36:57 +0000

Hi Guys,

The following link is very good to let you get an idea for your career choice.

You have to be practical to choose you career and wisely invest your time to it.

If you choose a bad job as below, you can only eat bare bread every meal. That is not wise and practical.

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/04/28/the-5-worst-jobs-in-america.aspx

You have good talent. You deserve a good life. You need to have a high pay job. You have a duty to help others, not just barely support yourself or unable to support yourself.

The key here is that you need to be practical and compromise to get the maximum.

You need think through this to become practically effective competitor for a better life.

Love you
Dad

Follow the traffic rule, you can enjoy the driving freedom

admin — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:31:09 +0000

For a trouble free life, you must obey the government law. Otherwise, you could lose freedom.

For a worry free life, you must follow the natural laws. Otherwise, you could get into endless worrisome.

Follow the traffic rule, you can enjoy the driving freedom. Otherwise, you really cannot drive any effective mileage.

If you truly understand these, you will know how and what to do. The Boston bombing suspects apparently had wrong thoughts, that determined their wrong doing. Their thoughts controlled their doing. I smoked before, I did not know smoking is that bad. I now know it is very bad thing, so I totally stopped it. I even want my relatives to stop.

For example, you need proper rest, proper food, and balance of work and recreation. That is a law of nature. If you do not obey it, you can get damage to your health and you could get into endless unhappiness.

Hope you get the best in your life.

Love you

Dad
