"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

Parent day = 'Daddy + Mummy' day!!

Father's day wasn't taken for granted in my family but we had made it joined with mum's day last month. My parent had been cheered-up on a single day---the parent day, whereby we went for a one day family vocation!! It wasn't merely an appreciation to parent but beyond, it was to get together as a whole, original, heartfelt that make meaningful as a family.. Yup, the two sons managed to go back HOME to celebrate the 'parent day' with our great father and mother!! It wasn't compulsory (like 'have to') but was a small responsibility that we should take up and really from the bottom of our heart.. for dad and mum!!
