Things Every Adult Needs To Learn From Children
1. Crying
As we grow up, we find it extremely difficult to vent our emotions. We feel scared to cry or openly express things and feelings that hurt us. Sadly, that’s not how it should be. On the other hand, children are all out there with their emotions. They’ll let us know when they are low, sad or angry. And it'd be a really good idea if we incorporated that in our lifestyle.
2. Forget and Forgive
Kids easily forget their fight and play together again!!Conversely, for adults it becomes this never ending saga of ego.
3. Ask questions without bothering whether they are silly or not
We become so conscious as we grow up that we begin to over-analyse things. We think 100 times before asking a question. Wouldn't it be great, if, just like kids, we could do whatever we want and not feel scared about becoming a joke?
4 Not making a fuss of saying 'sorry'
Kids never feel shy to say sorry, but adults take it as if it is a matter of their pride!
5. Kids not taking their scars seriously
No matter how badly kids hurt themselves, they always return to their game. Bruises or no bruises, the game always goes on.
Adults too get scars but they make a big Scene to get attention from everyone!!
6. Paying attention to little things in life
It’s amazing how kids can find interest in the smallest things. They can spend an entire day staring at a leaf or just playing with water droplets or a paper plane. Everything and anything can amuse them.
Growing up takes us closer to material things like bigger pay checks and fancy cars. We forget that little things can make us happy too.
7. How not to judge
This is the most important thing we should learn from kids. They are not prejudiced, racist, sexist, opinionated or anything of the sort. They don’t care at all. If they like you, they like you the way you are.
8. Failure is not an option but determination is
Kids fall down endless times and they learn to pick themselves up. And all they do is get up again, again and again. That determination is something we should hold on to for the rest of our lives. We’ll fall and we'll fail, but we shouldn’t give up on ourselves.
9. Being the Hero of our own story
Whenever a child narrates an anecdote, it is always in first person and they themselves are the hero. Some people might perceive this as living in a fantasy, but isn't it a great way to inspire yourself? Grown ups like ourselves are pros at pulling ourselves down.
10 Being Happy for no reason
Kids smile for no reason. They’ll laugh out loud if you carry them and play with them. As for adults, laugh-less days are far too common.
11. Being Spontaneous
Kids don’t have a filter or a guard; they are completely in-your-face. They will call you bad if they don’t like you and they’ll give you a peck on your cheeks if they are fond of you. They don’t think before they act and that’s good in a way.
On the other hand, we think too much and act too less.
