Take yourselves like custodians

It is Friday morning, very tricky weather, windy with gusts 90 km.
Yesterday it was 6 C below zero, today everywhere like an Ice Rink.
Not safe for anyone to walk, specially for we seniors.

It is 9.30 I am in my office cubicle, writing my Blog, At 10 am, will go to the 
next room to play Darts. I am working full time, today Carpet Bowling too
so go back home after 3 pm.

My Eldest Grandson is doing his IV program at Western, in London 
Ontario. He called and told me that he wants some points for his business 
assignment. My answer was, "OK I give it to your Dad", in my mind, he 
needed his help. 

He clarified that he will do the assignment, based on my interview and 
my story of life. It was a lengthy interview, I am writing here some of the 
points briefly.

1 : How you chose your career and your suggestions about that ??  

My quick answer was, where your heart and passion takes you. 

Mine was to be a Doctor, but in my days in 1960, not many opportunities 
for girls, I tried hard but not possible to achieve, so I opted for my 
next one, to be a Research Scientist. I did that. 

2 : What was the most difficult situation, you handled in your life ?

My answer :

It was the time when my husband's body was lying with five kids around,
between ages of eight and two. I was living far away. I decided to fly with 
his body so that his parents and friends be there for his burial. I looked 
for work, to start a new life with my kids from scratch. 

3 : Who was your Mentor  ??

My answer was "My Father ".

I was in Grade 9th. I was explaining my exam paper to my Father. 
He told me that it is done, now focus on the next one. That piece of 
conversation was stuck in the back of my mind, was always there to 
help me throughout my life.

It was like a power to motivate and to tackle the difficult moments in my 
life. When we talk to kids and teens, keep in mind that it will stay with 
them throughout their life, to play a key role in building their career,
their personalities.

We can give them strength to face the world or can damage their morale 
and confidence. Being parents and teachers, we have big responsibility 
on our shoulders. 

We have to take it as an assignment from God.Take yourselves like 
Custodians to manage the welfare and well being of His Creatures.
