A few days back, my cousins came to visit us at home. Not as tiny as they were some years ago, still they are less than half my age. We got together and started chatting as I kept asking them questions about school and life. To add a little fun we started playing the game, "guess the word". It was so engaging that we continued to play till 12 am.  So much to the fact that not even for a second I was tempted to check Facebook or Whatsapp. The room was filled with endless laughter as we kept poking fun at each other. It was really great to play a game after a very long time. The answers during the game were thoughtful and quick. It actually got me thinking about the mindset of kids. 

One thing I realized is that age doesn't matter. A child of 6 yrs can share the same likes and dislikes of a normal grown-up. I mean, to think of it, how many of us have really changed since childhood? We were just taught how to act like a grown-up. Our parents and teachers became our role models. In fact, many of us learnt to imitate during our growing up days. As time goes by, we just get a little maturity to deal with things. But, at the end of the day we all have that inner child inside us.  

A wise man once said, " Child is the father of Man". It is true that Children can teach you a lot- the easy way. Going through a complex situation in life? Try asking a child for advice.  Look how they bring back that smile with their easy and simple ideas with a dash of humour. Don't be surprised if they manage to outwit you. The statistics will blow your mind as the number of young achievers around the globe is increasing. While most of us idle away our time thinking about the future, these little kids are working hard to make the most at a young age. The entire scenario is so amusing that it will get you thinking. 

The point is never take these little ones for granted. You may never know whats going on in their tiny minds. They may have a broader perspective to life than you. They teach us how to grumble less and laugh more. It is their carefree attitude is what makes them what they are. Forgive and forget. Think less and do more. Take chances. Move on in life. Fear less and dream more as "Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you will ever be".
