Important take home message

I was in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan the whole of Saturday, chairing 2 sessions of motivational talk given by the ever-popular Dato' Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah. The first session was targeted for secondary school students, while the second session's audience were their parents. Of course, as with many other motivational programmes, there were many tips and encouragement given by the speaker.

But if there is at least ONE message that I took home from the programme, it would be this question: Have you thanked your mother for giving birth to you?

That one question hit the nail on its head. We may have thanked our mother many times before for a lot of things, but I doubt that we have actually thanked her for carrying us for 9 months and then enduring the pains of childbirth to give birth to us. Imagine if we thank our mother for this, it'll surely touch her heart and would strengthen the bond of mother and child.

So, have you thanked your mother for giving birth to you?
