As a child, it did
seem like you never really had to worry about anything as someone else did the
worrying while you enjoyed the spoils or the rewards. This was my reality, at
least not until I began to move up classes at school and the plays, naps and
creativity seemed to be taken over by timed activities, bells, and assignments
not to mention punishments for being late or doing something wrong.
This became
my reality, school brought out the consciousness of the inevitable life process
‘growth’, which in the words of Benjamin Franklin - ‘Without continual growth
and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no
meaning’. And as Paul rightly said ‘When I was a child, I spoke, thought, and
reasoned in childlike ways as we all do. But when I became a man, I left my
childish ways behind’.
Never stop learning,
growing up is part of life, however make sure life’s lessons mould
you in the right direction.
