Profound conversations

Cayson has very high sense of empathy. Recently, Cayen fell sick after first day of school (I wonder if he’s allergic to school??!) and this is what Cayson said.

On first day when Cayen’s sick 

Cayson: Are you ok Ah Yen ? 

On second day when Cayen’s sick

Cayson: (first thing in the morning) Are you feeling better Ah Yen ? 

(Right after breakfast)

Cayson: Can I have Vitagen?

Ah Po: No, it’s too cold to take in the morning.

Cayson: But I don’t have cough! 

Me: Ah Yen is having cough. Must be he has had too much Vitagen. 

Ah Po: Let’s not buy anymore.

Cayson: Haha I buy already (he just bought from supermarket the previous night)

This bedtime ... while he reads his book, I start the new year with a new book too. 

One hour later 

Me: Let me share with you something that I have read. It offers you tips on how to persuade people effectively. 

Cayen: So you mean I can ask you for Minecraft 

Me: No, cox I have read the book, this doesn’t work on me. But you should learn the tip anyway. You can use it on people who never read the book, 

Cayen: But what if everybody has read the book?

Me: No,, most people will watch YouTube or Netflix when they are free. 

Cayen: Why is it that when you force but you say you persuade, but when I persuade, you force?  

Me: (speechless for a while) .. well, it’s actually the same thing; but it’s how you perceive it. If you are open to considering, it’s persuade.. if not, you will feel it’s force.
