After having had some time to think about how I would spend time making the world a better place, I’ve decided that I will indeed start working on a book.
However, it will be written as a fictional book, as I do not have the formal background or training to be any type of authority on the matter. Much like the way God’s Debris by Scott Adams was written.
This isn’t about the money. Not really anyway. I want to find a way to spread ideas, and if they catch on, I know the world will become a better place. It’s not so much about solving all the world’s problems, but it’s about people. It’s about improving the lives of the people around you without concern for yourself, and hopefully the people around you want to improve your life as well.
Let’s start working on a few chapters.
The title of this book is “Understanding Parents”. The objective is to show the teenagers of today why it is so difficult for them to communicate with their parents. most of the time, it’s simply that the children don’t know enough about what’s going on in their parents’ lives, and that’s why some decisions that they’ve made just don’t make much sense.
Being a parent is undoubtedly a tricky affair. I have no kids myself, but I’ve been around many young parents and many more young teenagers in my lifetime.
But Sebby, do you think that you’re qualified to write about something as sensitive as parenting? You really have no experience parenting!
Have you ever been in a restaurant and complained about their service? If the answer is yes, do you have any experience running a restaurant? If not, what makes you qualified to speak on restaurant matters?
If you’ve answered that you know how you should be treated as a customer, you are exactly right! And in that same respect, I’m sharing my opinions on how parenting should be done. As a youth, I’ve been the listening ear to many confused teenagers whose parents cannot relate to them, and are forced to look outside the home for help. But how confident are you that your children are speaking to the right people?
That’s how Singaporean children end up in gangs. No one to talk to at home.
The fact is that there is no minimum requirement to become a parent. Oh wait. Yes there is. Both parties contributing to the child need to have gone through puberty.
Yup. That’s it. Puberty.
But what about things like marriage, love, family planning, financial stability?
Yup, those are important too, but no one’s teaching a class on it. Wait. I’m mistaken. I believe that it’s because no one HAS TO ATTEND IT!
So let’s see if we can change the world with this book.
