Simple rules from Dad department

Happy Father's day to all the dads out there! Please find below few simple rules for dads written by a humble father.

"My main goal in life is to make sure I do the best possible job raising my children. That means I have to be the best possible father I can be. I am no psychologist, but I do see what succeeds with my children and me. I also observe other fathers. Here is what I have found works best in the dad department.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE - The key to a happy child is having a dad who is there with him consistently, day in and day out. It is far better to spend evening after evening just sitting near him while he reads a book or plays on the computer than to spend a couple of hours every Saturday buying him toys or taking in a movie.

SHARE YOUR STRENGTHS AND FEARS - You are your child's ally, not his adversary. The child who knows that his father was once afraid of the dark, and is still afraid of needles, gets to know that his own weaknesses are part of mankind, not a unique shame.

LOOK FOR THE GOOD AND PRAISE IT - Encouragement is the primary engine of human development. I have been telling my son for over a year that he is a whiz in math because I know he can calculate in a nanosecond the number of toys he can buy with his allowance. Now he's a whiz in math at school too. Consistent recognition of a child's strengths is more important by far than vitamins. You deny it to them at their peril and yours.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO BE RUDE - My son is expected to share, answer others when they greet him and congratulate those who succeed. By teaching him about politeness, I make sure he realizes that others' feeling are worth taking into account. If he can get that in his head he will have learned the most basic foundation of human interaction.

LET YOUR CHILD TEACH YOU - A common misstatement about child development is that "kids don't come with instruction manuals". Au contraire - they do. They tell you when they're hungry. They tell you when they're lonely or scared. They are little guided tours of themselves. Children will tell you what they want, although not always with words. Fatigue, irritability and sadness are ways of telling Dad what they need. Look and listen.

VALUE YOUR CHILD FOR WHAT HE IS - When my son knows he is loved for himself, not for any particular accomplishment, he has a certain peace that allows him to learn better, sleep better, play better, and be more helpful around the house. Whether he becomes a rocket scientist or a plumber, I want my son to know he's No. 1 with me.

BEING A DADDY IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY - If you decide your kids come before your sales quota or other activities, you will find that all the other pieces of Daddyhood fall into place. When you put your kids first, you're getting the most value for every hour on earth. What's more, you have made the most Rightous decision of your life. "

Listen

I Listen to the trees, and they say:
"Stand tall and yield.
Be tolerant and flexible.
Be true to yourself.
Stand alone, and stand together.
Be brave.
Be patient.
With time, you will grow."

I Listen to the wind, and it says:
"Breathe.
Take care of yourself - body, mind, and spirit.
Take time.
Be quiet.
Listen from your heart.
Forgive."

I Listen to the sun, and it says:
"Nurture others.
Let your warmth radiate for others to feel.
Give yourself without expectations."

Tend to what's really important, and let the rest go by.
Keep moving - don't be hesitant or afraid.
Lighten up - laugh, giggle."

I Listen to the mountains, and they say:
"Be there.
Be honest.
Be trustworthy.
Do what you say you're going to do.
Be true, genuine, and real.
Speak from the heart.
Don't cheat."

I Listen to the birds, and they say:

Sing."

I Listen to the clouds, and they say:
"Be creative.
Be expressive.
Let your spirit run free.
Let yourself be light and gay, but let yourself be heavy and sad.
Cry when you feel like it."

I Listen to the sky, and it says:

Experience change.

Allow yourself to be loved.
Be gentle, kind, and understanding.
Use candles."

I Listen to the stars, and they wink and say:
"Play.
Dance, be silly, have fun."

I Listen to the earth, and it says:
"I am your mother.
I give you life.
Respect all that is around you.
Find beauty in all things - living and not - including yourself; for we are all one - not separate.
Be especially respectful to the very young and the very old, for they are both very near God.
Give up the belief that you are a higher form of life; there is no higher form of life.
We are equal because we are the same.
When you return to me, I will welcome you, and I will set your spirit free.
Love and nurture your children; cook good food for them, and hold them very close to you often.
Hold me close to you often as well, and I will hold you in return; I will support you.
Have faith."

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,

Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,

Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Peace

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. 

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. 

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest- in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.

Ibu jari :

Mengingatkan kita untuk berdoa pada orang yang ada di dekat kita, yang mudah diingat. Suami/istri, anak, orang tua, saudara, sahabat, dll.

Telunjuk :

Biasa dipakai untuk menunjuk. Berdoa bagi orang yang biasa mengajar, baik pendidikan secara rohani ataupun ilmu pengetahuan, agar senantiasa diberikan kebijaksanaan dalam mendidik para putra dan putri kita.

Jari tengah :

Jari yangg tertinggi. Mengingatkan kita untuk berdoa bagi para pemimpin kita, baik pemimpin rohani juga pemimpin negara, agar mereka senantiasa dalam bimbingan Tuhan dalam menentukan kebijakan.

Jari Manis :

Jari ini adalah paling lemah. Mengingatkan kita untuk senantiasa berdoa bagi mereka yang lemah, miskin dan menderita. Semoga dengan doa kita menjadi kekuatan mereka dalam menghadapi setiap peristiwa hidup yang dialami.

Kelingking :

Jari yang terkecil. Tuhan menginginkan agar kita selalu belajar seperti anak kecil, apa adanya dihadapan Tuhan. Mengingatkan kita untuk berdoa bagi diri kita juga. Sehingga setiap kali berdoa bagi empat kelompok (empat jari diatas), menyadarkan kita bahwa diri kita juga membutuhkan rahmat dan belas kasih Tuhan setiap saat...
