You Are My Shadow Today

On my Birthday, I dedicate this to my parents, grandparents and my annoying little brother.

One sunny day you wake up, but you can't move... You call your parents and they rush over. Oh! You can finally move. But, you are the shadow of your parents!

Imagine for one day you are the shadow of your parents. Everything they do, you can see. You do their every move. How would that feel?

Becoming someone is really weird. Becoming their shadow is even weirder. Every day you would witness their struggles, obstacles and maybe, triumphs. Would you feel surprised at what deal with every day? Would you feel tired of all the activities they are doing? Would you feel proud of their achievements?

Let's have a different example here. Struggles. Everybody has struggles. Whether it's waking up late or an extremely busy schedule. Now imagine, if you were that shadow of your parents, would you want to sleep in and not wake up early and make breakfast for your kids? Putting yourself in other people's perspective is a great way to learn to appreciate what they are doing or what they are going through. When you go to work or school you see that maybe sometimes your friend is having a bad day and you have to realise that and not try to push him or her. So before you complain about something, to your friends or your parents, put yourself in their perspective and try to understand their situation.

Now my experience with this. One day at school I was handing out the milk with my friends helping me. When they put the cartons in the box, they did it in a different format to how I did it. I got really frustrated and because of my negative reaction, they disliked me and I almost lost many friends.

If I were to put myself in their situation I would have known that maybe it's just the way they like to do it. If I had calmed down and considered their habits, we wouldn't have had that fight. Now, this is a really simple and easily resolvable problem, but when you go out to college or the community, you will find it much more difficult.

To conclude, the if you want to build strong relationships and become appreciative to your friends, make sure you put yourself in their position, consider that something may have happened and appreciate their efforts. Especially your parents.

Remeber to Be Their Shadow!

在我的生日那天，我将这件事奉献给我的父母，祖父母和我讨厌的小弟弟。

你醒了一个阳光明媚的日子，但你不能移动......你打电话给你的父母，他们赶了过来。哦!你终于可以移动了。但是，你是你父母的影子！

想象一下，你是你父母的影子。他们所做的一切，你可以看到。你做他们的一举一动。那感觉如何？

成为某人真的很奇怪。成为他们的影子甚至更加怪异。每一天你都会目睹他们的斗争，障碍和胜利。你会感到惊讶于每天都在处理什么？你会厌倦了他们正在做的所有活动吗？你会为他们的成就感到自豪吗？

我们来看一个不同的例子。斗争。每个人都在挣扎。无论是迟到还是非常繁忙的时间表。现在想象一下，如果你是父母的影子，你是否想睡觉，而不是早起，为孩子做早餐？把自己置于别人的视角是学习欣赏他们正在做什么或他们正在经历什么的好方法。当你上班或上学时，你会发现有时候你的朋友会有糟糕的一天，你必须意识到这一点，而不是试图推动他或她。所以，在你抱怨某件事情之前，对你的朋友或你的父母，要把自己置于他们的视角，并试图了解他们的情况。

现在我的经验与此。在学校的一天，我和朋友们一起帮助我发放牛奶。当他们把纸箱放在箱子里时，他们用不同的格式来做这件事。我非常沮丧，由于我的消极反应，他们不喜欢我，我几乎失去了很多朋友。

如果我要把自己置于他们的境地，我会知道，也许这只是他们喜欢这样做的方式。如果我平静下来并考虑他们的习惯，我们就不会有这种斗争。现在，这是一个非常简单和容易解决的问题，但是当你上大学或社区时，你会发现它更加困难。

总而言之，如果你想建立牢固的关系并且对你的朋友感激，那么确保你把自己置于自己的位置，考虑到可能发生的事情并且欣赏他们的努力。特别是你的父母。

记住要成为他们的影子！
