I wake up in the morning to find myself alive and breathing. I go outside, the sky is clear, the mountains far away are green, wind blows gently, carrying smell of flowers. I hear invisible birds singing. Schoolgirls and boys rush past me. No one can prevent me from standing here and now in this world. That makes me feel happy.
Good advice to give to someone who is becoming a parent?
Treat your child not as a child, but as a human being. Don't try to tell them what to do, but try to let them think what to do and decide by themselves.
