Question

My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.

He called out to me today saying“Papa, sit.” That usually means   everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be stubborn and will not stop calling out until I    . He was playing with beads (珠子) , pushing a string through them. Then after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him     pick up each bead, look at it as if it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.

With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting   . “ What a long time it will take ! Why cannot he grab ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much   as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any difference between his play and his     the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.

Then it suddenly    me that this boy was enjoying the whole   .The journey was his goal. For him the     was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective to live each moment as it is the   moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else matters.

Looking at how    my son was putting beads into the box me that the process was the goal.
