"Un niño puede enseñarle a un adulto tres cosas: a ser feliz sin motivo, a estar siempre ocupado con algo y a saber cómo exigir con todas sus fuerzas aquello que desea."
— Paulo Coelho
Simplified Meaning:
Children show us valuable lessons. They sometimes feel joy simply because they exist, without needing a reason or a special event. For example, a child might giggle just because they see a butterfly. Adults can learn to appreciate small moments and find happiness in the simple things around them. Kids also seem like they are always on the move, finding things to do constantly. Whether it’s drawing, playing, or exploring, they stay active and curious. Adults can take this as encouragement to stay engaged in activities, hobbies, or learning new things instead of getting stuck in routines. Lastly, children are not shy about asking strongly for what they want. Think of a child who keeps asking for a toy in a store with all the energy they have. This teaches us the importance of being clear and persistent about our desires and goals in life, making sure we try our best to achieve them. By applying these behaviors, adults can find more joy, stay active, and be more determined.
