This time I visited the home with 13 other HCSA members to have a fun time with around 20 children whose family have some economic or domestic problems. Looking at them, you wouldn’t find any difference between them and the other children. They are just normal – lively, energetic, and enthusiastic. They like to make some jokes with you; they like to challenge you; they like to make troubles. Nevertheless, these all make them human, children.
What we need is patience and perseverance to deal with them and understand them. To understand why they do this and behave like this. We can’t compare one child with the others and say, “I don’t think you are that sad. Comparing with other kids, yours is nothing.” Every child is different and every situation is different. How can we deny his or her feelings, when we are not at his or her shoes? How can we say he or she should be like this when we don’t even understand him or her? This attitude also applies to leadership. A leader should understand his or her members fully before he or she makes any judgement. How can leaders say their members are not busy when they aren’t at their situation and don’t understand them? A leader, who is not self-centred, must at least learn not to deny the members’ feelings and to be in different perspectives. I am learning it and everyone is learning it because it is natural for humans to make judgement just basing one their frame of reference.
See you next time!
