When guide you kid doing their homework, you feel like a “qualify father ". you solved problems on the textbook other then business issues. You are the hero of the kids. Counting on the weekend on hand, you think of bringing kid to beach or out for activity which you didn't get time to do before. Yesterday, I brought my little one - 6 years old son - Sound to FU-LONG beach with me, we spent 6 hours together, just 2 of us, we caught on an early train departed from Taipei at 7:20 am and arrived at FU-LONG around 8:30 am, Sound doing his sand castle while I reading the " Business 2.0 " on the beach, we play with water together and enjoy the famous FU-LONG rail station lunch box ( Benton ), when walking by the beach, someone asked if I am the single parent of the family, it surprise me, I am proud of been mistaken as an " over qualified " father. Look around the beach, yes, it seems I am the only Man bringing kid along, rest are either family or Women with Kid.
We are exhausted on the way back to Taipei, falling asleep on the train, change car at Ba-Du station, the father and son must cause a few curiosities among people at the platform. I am a happy father; I am satisfied by making this precious moment with Sound before he enters the primary school this coming summer.
Play is a game kids will never get tired, time is never enough for kid on the beach, the passion of playing shall be what we adapt for working, bring back the Kid's excitement, we may perform what we unexpected., someone said it before “ we are living by working, not working for living “ if we change the mentality and to replace working as playing, what will our life be ?
A story which was indirectly benefit from SARS -- the family tie , the value of family. And the time to spend with grow ups.
