Children Teach Us A Lot

林锋

Children can teach adults a lot. In other words， there are many things adults can learn from children. Hope you can know how to do it from the following words.

Kids tend to show love. Every action they do for parents， friends， pets， and people they like， is full of love. They dont think twice before loving， and they just love. So adults can learn this： the best way to receive love is to first give it. To give means to receive.

Kids never hide feelings. They cry when they hurt themselves， and express displeasure when things dont go their way. However， we adults always avoid showing our feelings， and never express ourselves sincerely. In fact， its not strange to cry or express yourself. Because everybody is supposed to let out the feeling freely， not only the children. Never hold back tears or happiness. If you want to cry， just cry your eyes out. And if you are happy or pleased about something， dont be afraid to show or share it.

Kids are curious （好奇的） about everything. They always ask lots of questions every day. This curious nature guides their life， and often leads them to simple but wonderful discoveries. Are adults as curious as kids？ Well， most of us arent. Also， they dont even ask questions if they dont understand something.

Kids live in the present， and give 100% to any task they are doing. They never worry about the future. Since they are so busy enjoying their present， life is great today. However， with a job， money， and relationships， it does get hard for an adult to enjoy life. The best thing to do here is to change oneself， and if that isnt possible， we can live like a child. Just dont be worried about the future， because it isnt in your control.
