One evening, i was cuddling up Marvell and we were chatting away,one of his trademarks when he begins to talk to me is he will ask me a lot of questions, for this he is always labelled by his bigger brother as showing off.......................
Then he asked me,"Papa, you know how to be happy or not ?" I was like ok I knew it, I read about it and I even trying to practise it but let hear what this boy had to say,instead,i then said," Marvell, I don't know lah" then he began.
"you see papa,very easy only, no matter how rich you are, you only need three meals to take care your tummy and no matter how big your house is, you only need to sleep on one bed, no need king size some more" I was then asking him how could that make one happy, he was quick to prove his thought,,,,
"Papa, if you know that you don't need much, then you will be happy lol, and if you have more than you think is enough, you give some to others,you make them happy, then you are happy also lol,so when i am big, i want to make a lot of money, helping a lot of people, make them happy and i will always be happy"
I gave him a hug and thank god for his good heart...............
P/S : I have to cars but I can't drive both at the same time, getting to the same place
That's why I'm happy...very happy.

ReplyDeletegosh...why he so smart one.. he talks like a philosopher!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Eugene, you're really blessed to have Marvell! He's such a wonderful gift for your family. :) And of course a beautiful gift to the world. I believe one day, he'll be somebody!
ReplyDeleteHe has a great heart.
ReplyDeleteLike father like son
ReplyDeleteglad and proud of Marvell Bro!! He is such a nice boy!
ReplyDeleteYou taught him well :)
ReplyDeleteHe has got his point, be contended and helpful to other... hey, you hv a precious gem at home leh! Proud of your boy!
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who labelled me as "the not ambitious one" because I never asked for big car, big house or lots of money that I can spend for my own. Marvel had proved my point.
ReplyDeleteAww... Marvell is marvellous indeed! He not only has a good heart, he is wise beyond his years. There's a walking, talking gem, alright!
ReplyDeleteBtw, is that his real name? If so, you and your wifey have named him well. Jovial's too.
what an inspiring quote from a kid! if only adults can think like that.. this world would be a better place huh?
ReplyDeletegive him a pat on the back for me yeah?
X)
The world would be a better place, if many think like Marvell. Just be contented and happy :)
ReplyDeleteGood positive thinking ~ be happy dont worry.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to be as contented as Marvell.
ReplyDeleteMarvell is a smart kid.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to be happy and equally easy to stay unhappy. It's up to us to learn to appreciate our life as it is, but still strive for more.
Thanks guys and have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marvel. Auntie cleff will keep this in thoughts.
