When I was a teacher in the primary school at Jakarta, Indonesia. At that time the children just finished their vacation.  I started my teaching at grade one Then I started to ask the question on the first day of school to them.  How about your holiday?. Most of them are having holiday out of town only, two students went to Bali( in Indonesia it is still in a domestic trip, because Bali is in IndonesiaJ) ,some only went to the mall, or even staying at home. I asked them one by one about their holiday  and  their feeling about this holiday. They said that they were enjoying the holiday, and ready to follow the lessons.

I move to the second grade on the same day, older students of course, some of them went to Hong Kong, some went to Bali, and some simply stay at the town. The answer that they given was only just okay, quite happy, even tough some of them went to Hong Kong and Singapore. The funny thing is when they started to say that when the holiday come they want to go to school, and when the school time come, they want to have their holiday. LOL

At the same day, I also taught in the older age class, which is grade 3, some of them went to Hong Kong, Japan, and many went to overseas, but when I asked about what do they feel about the holiday, they answered boring, and just okay.

Maybe those could not become a value research of what I  want to share, but for me, as we grow older, and our maturity increase, human tends to forget how to be thankful and enjoy what you have, even tough it is just a simple thing.

Grade one student enjoys their holiday, which maybe not really fun, second grade students did not enjoy the holiday fully grade three students even did not feel great to have holiday in the overseas, where not everybody can do that. Maybe you would say, yeah, they are just a children. But let’s see our self and people around us.

As human grows older, we tend to think that life is just an ordinary thing. Wherever you are, whenever you are, we might be somewhere, but our heart and soul are somewhere else.

Human cannot be in the present moment, only as old as grade one in primary school are able to enjoy their world no matter what it is.

Our brain always love the world later, later when the holiday is coming, then I will be happy, after the holiday comes?  Well, it just like this.. It is boring, not very long I have to come back to work, oh my God, a hell stack of works wait for me.. And when the holiday is over and we come to our work place. Whew, I cannot wait until the next holiday, and when someone ask you, how is the holiday? Ok< it is fun, but actually is not to the max, because when we had the holiday, a quarter of our mind and soul flew to our work problem and other problems.

Our brain seems to be designed for this. We don’t know what is a present moment; the only thing left is only shadow of the past and something that we will face in the future, the happiness or even the sadness. Present moment? We don’t know, There’s only later and before.

This is the reason why learning to be sincere and be thankful is difficult . .Well, maybe being sincere and be thankful is difficult, especially who want to learn about The Law of Attraction, if you don’t know what the present moment means.

Are you familiar with this sentence: “If you don’t be like these children, you won’t own the kingdom of God?” For me the interpretation could be if you don’t know the present moment especially if you don’t be sincere, and be thankful. Then, forget everything about happiness.

Me, my self is still hard to practice this, but let’s we learn from the children.
