My 4 year young angel Kaynaat's first day in her new class 'n several of her classmates, including Kayu, seemed trifle overwhelmed and tearful. This despite continuing with the same circle of friends but in a new classroom and with new teachers.
Truly, new atmosphere appears intimidating not just for kids but even for adults and that's the single biggest reason why most people prefer to stick in familiarity however mundane it may be and not aspire for the undiscovered treasure.
And this is where these kids inspire the biggest lesson for all adults, that although it may take a day, two or even more but surely one finds their own groove, because in order to grow, you must outgrow the fears and be willing to move to the next level.
God bless 'em.

Chinese Bamboo... ~Aleph, Paulo Coelho~
I start by telling her a story.
"A man stumbles and falls into a deep hole. He asks a passing priest to help him out. The priest blesses him and walks on. Hours later, a doctor comes by. The man asks for help, but the doctor merely studies his injuries from afar, writes him a prescription and tells him to buy the medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Finally, a complete stranger appears. Again the man asks for help, and the stranger jumps in the hole. "Now what are we going to do?" says the man. "Now both of us are trapped down here." To which the stranger replies: " No we're not. I am from around here and I know how to get out.""
"Meaning", asks Monica.
"That I need strangers like that," I explain. "My roots are ready, but I will only manage to grow with the help of others. Not just you or J or my wife, but people I have never met. I am sure of that."
~Aleph; Paulo Coelho explaining the Chinese Bamboo to Monica, his agent. Apparently the Chinese Bamboo spends five years as a little shoot, using that time to develop its root system. And, then from one moment to the next, it puts on a spurt and grows up to twenty five meters high.~
