Chat with my son (I)

We were passing by a park where kids aged around 4-6 were having their soccer classes. Luckily the traffic light turned to red and we were able to watch them. All kids were trying their best, the drill was to stop the coming ball with their sole, then kick it back. I told my son that it was a good start for a soccer novice. He shrugged and said it was too easy.

When there is "easy" then there is "hard". I am one of those who probably don't like to classify things as such. "Hard" may have connotations that are not necessarily helpful especially to a growing personality. I told my son that there is nothing easy nor hard. There are things that we know, have practiced, and finally have mastered and then there are things that we do not know yet or we have not practiced enough. Perception is very critical in how we accept and live our lives. I simply want to teach my son that there is nothing "hard" in life, once you accept that there are things to learn at every stage then life becomes an adventure rather than a hardship.
