Tommy and his dad spent Saturday building a homemade kite.
As they tried flying it, the kite wobbled crazily in the wind. Dad tied a tail to it for stability. It was not stable; he added a longer tail. Dad kept tweaking it, aiming for perfection.
Watching his dad’s serious face, Tommy giggled and said, “Dad, it’s fun enough just trying to fly it!”
His dad paused, then laughed, realizing Tommy was right. They spent the afternoon delighting in their quirky kite’s wild flights, learning that perfection isn’t necessary for joy.
Contentment comes from cherishing the moment and the company.

Jerry had heard a talk about history and thought of his future. His parents told him last night at dinner, “Jerry, you can be anything, anything at all. Remember, you are always the Architect of your own future.”
His girlfriend Lisa came to see him, and he almost couldn’t remember her name. The words Architect and future kept popping into his head.
He must have gone through those two words hundreds of times.
It was now bedtime, and his parents had just left his room. Suddenly, he said,
“Eureka. I’m going to be the Architect.
I can build the future.”

Growing up, these two boys—Reggie on the left and Billy on the right—were friends. For the past few months, they fought in the schoolyard daily. But today seems different. Billy almost always started the fight.
Today was different. After each boy said some nasty things to each other, Billy yelled at the top of his lungs, “Please stop. I don’t want to battle with you.”
Billy said,
“Reggie, I don’t want to fight. My mom and dad fight. You were my best friend. I want that again. Reggie, I really need my friend.”
Reggie said,
“I’m right here.”

This mishap brought them closer, teaching them the value of perseverance. The swing, once broken, became a symbol of their adventures, embodying the spirit of resilience and the joy of shared endeavors.

Dad took me on my first business trip with him to China when I was four years old. Mom came, too.
The next trip, I was six years old. My dad showed me a Chinese Abacus and told me that one day, I would learn my numbers and be able to use an Abacus to calculate anything.
Mom took this picture of me working with my own Abacus for kids.
I use it to calculate the answers to Mrs. Wilson’s math test. I can add and subtract anything. Do you want to learn how to use an Abacus? Anyone can.
