Yesterday was the last day of the first session of my daughter’s summer class at SMW. Actually today should be the last day. The teacher told the class that those with average grade = A did not need to come today.

Yesterday, my daughter spent part of the day chatting and playing while those who had to come were busy preparing for the final.

She observed that it almost seemed unfair that some people were having fun while some others had to work hard through the boring stuff. I told her, “I don’t know the reason for those who lag behind, either because they have not worked hard enough or because of their limited brain power. No matter what, you should count your blessing that it doesn’t take you much effort to get serious work done and still have time for fun. Stretching this situation to your whole life, how much fun will you have if you can get job done easily and in a short time frame?

Indeed, with a fixed amount of time in our limited lifetime, the less time spent on things we dislike, the more time we have for our own enjoyment. Got it?
