Open your eyes
As I lay deep asleep until late this morning, I felt a push on my arm and heard some voice. The soft pushes continued with the voice repeating over and over. As I was about to snap at this person with half-eyes open barely being able to recognize who it was, I chose to hold myself back and clarify my vision. It was my sister wishing me good morning, smiling widely as she held a cup of warm, masala tea she made especially for me. (Couldn't have been more grateful!) Sometimes, holding yourself back (i.e. your immediate responses) and choosing to clarify the situation can help make better responses and decisions.
Getting into Reading
While writing on Quora yesterday, one of the members happened to ask me an interesting question: Do you think that children reading entertainment books are a waste of time and they should read serious educational books instead? After thinking about this for a little while, here was my response: "Hi! Thanks for asking me this question - I just realized how my parents creatively got me into reading. As a kid, I remember reading comics like Tinker and Chacha Chaudhary. Later, my parents also got me storybooks like Panchatantra and Aesop fables. I think they wanted me to first engage myself in reading (via comic books) and get habituated to it. Once I was used to reading, I automatically happened to read the educational (Panchatantra and Aesop fables) as well without them instructing. I think their strategy worked for me. :P Thanks!
