Don't Stop Believing

The title, as you probably know, is now famous for its cover by the show "Glee". Some people might think it's "gay". But I'm not typing this to talk about that.

I was sitting in, this afternoon, in an art class. Its an after-school activity. I was sitting with a bunch of friends. A little boy was sitting beside me. He had the most innocent look on his face. I had been talking to him and he had a thousand stories.

Then, when we were given a task, he whispered to me, "I can't do this!". I replied, "Of course you can!". No one wants to stop a little kid from reaching their full potential. In fact, we all want to help them reach their full potential. So, I encouraged him! I told him if you believe you can do it, then you can do it. Finally, he said "I can do it!". I was so happy to hear that from him!

Later on, I was talking to a friend about the paintings that were posted in front of the room, where everyone can see it. It was painted by the teacher. Such a genius! My friend told me I can do that. I replied, "I can't! that's so hard!".

Then, out of nowhere the little boy poked me which caught my attention. I didn't know he can hear our conversation. The little boy said, "You told me you can do anything if you believe in yourself." I was so embarrassed. I apologized to the little boy. Instead of me teaching the little boy a lesson, it's him who taught me an important lesson. Hope you got it too!

share share lang! :D He gave me a "quartz" rock.
