the way we learn

Alfon, my nephew, fell of again this morning. Head first, big bump. He's learning to walk. It seems like everyday that he physically hurt himself. In a cartoon he'd be like crayon sinchan :p. Amazingly, he's still trying. Of course he cried, of course he feels a little doubt each time he starts to try again, but he never stops. Thank god he's easily distracted. We gave him minyak tawon and bring him close to a fan, don't know why but he likes to watch a fan whirling so much, and he stopped crying.

Most of the time, he was warned by us not to do something we thought to be harmful but he wont listen. Curiosity? maybe. Like 3 days ago, my cousin told him not to play with a belt and tried to take it away from him but he insisted. The buckle hit his head hard and he cried. Another bump, Told you! Each time he becomes more careful and skillful. He learned not only to walk but also to listen to us.

I guess that's just the way we learn. To never give up no matter how much failure we experience and to listen to those who we trust, love us and always be there for us, no matter how stupid our choice was.
