Virtues to teach

 -Straight and Honest-

Today, I realize that I'm a 24 something woman, who about to be a mother. Soon, I'll deliver a baby with due date on 9th March 2013. Having this baby has always been a surprising bless for me. I've always wanted a child and keen on being a mother. I've had the picture how I'll raise my children, what values I will taught them, and so on and so on.

One thing for sure, I want my children to be a person with integrity. straight and honest. why? these past years I've learn (the hard way) that living a lousy life, being a liar or dishonest in any context will make life ugly and miserable. I have this experience where I lost my utmost trust towards someone I should (and always) respect before. This person made the most hurtful deception and lies. Everything was destroyed and relationships were broken. Hard to deal with.

Now, I'm still learning to forgive, to open my mind that anyone deserve a second chance. Still hard to believe, how the If question still pops in my mind, as if blablabla maybe everything will turn better, as if blablaba I might not sick with this hatred..but..I again realize that there is no use crying over a spilled milk.

Beside from that personal experience, well, professionally I also witness some ugly lies, ass licking behavior that make me kinda sick. Some people dare to do fraud, stab others, and air other people's laundry in non respected way, creating circulated rumours. It looks like doing those ugly thing is fine, but deep down, its a big No No in professional world. Trust me, people will always judge and evaluate,   pick their own opinion towards us, they keep taking note even it is not blatantly written. Once one lose his/her credibility, forever he/she wont be trusted.

Therefore, It is very important to me, to my family, that being honest and straight are two virtues we should hold tight. very tight. I will not my self and my little family join the 'corrupted mind' gang. No chance!.

-Brave and Tough-

I want my children to be brave and tough, I will not spoil them with luxurius thing, rather I will teach them the essential of life, which is to be useful for others. We have such a short time living in this world, so lets make the most of it.

I've seen so many children being given so many things from their parents,  but those stuff doesnt make them become more grateful or humble. In opposite, living such easy life make some children become unpolite individual who has no respect towards hardwork nor valuing life, what they do mostly getting busy with their gadget and posting bunch of show -off pictures in socmed.

That is why, I want to do it the other way, I hope I will be able to teach my children that when they want something they have to work on it, on their own. If they want to see the world, I'll give them the way how but they have to use their own wing to fly. They have to be brave and tough.

-The freedom to be anything-

It is not highly important to me what my children will become. They will have the freedom to choose. With one condition, as long as it is good and make them useful for others. I dont dream my children to be a doctor, lawyer or anything (well I dream them to be scientist and social activist, hehe), I just want them to be the best in one profession they choose and become the source of help for aas many people as possible.
