When we are young ...

My 10-months-old nephew, Shun, has learnt how to stand up by himself. Everytime when he stood up, his family will be clapping and encouraging him to stand up again.



When we're young, we will receive praise for every little thing we did.
The first time we opened our eyes to this world;
The first time we made eye contacts with our parents;
The first sound that we made;
The first time that we ate;
The first time we tried to hold other's fingers;
The first time that we attempted to sit up;
The first time that we fell down;
The first time we stood up by ourselves;
The first time we wore clothes;
The first time we brush teeth;
The first time we tie shoe laces.
... ... ...

When we grow up, the chances of us getting praises are lesser.

We are expected to do things correctly. If we do our work right, no one says anything or the most is just merely a "good job" or "well done".

But once you didn't do it right, people from everywhere will start pointing fingers at you or putting you down. Or worst is backstab you.

I just can't help but wonder, why?

I just wish that I'm treated like Baby Shun.
