The Princess & The Frog

Few days ago I bought the VCD of Disney's The Princess and The Frog and till this minute my daughter has watched it for 5 times! A story of kissing a frog might not turn it to a prince but instead turn you into a frog!

A modern day retelling of the classic story The Frog Prince. The Princess and the Frog finds the lives of arrogant, carefree Prince Naveen and hardworking waitress Tiana crossing paths. Prince Naveen is transformed into a frog by a conniving voodoo magician and Tiana, following suit, upon kissing the amphibian royalty. With the help of a trumpet-playing alligator, a Cajun firefly, and an old blind lady who lives in a boat in a tree, Naveen and Tiana must race to break the spell and fulfill their dreams (www.imdb.com)

Tiana's daddy taught her to always do the right thing; only dreaming won't bring the dream to reality but hardwork will. Do we have the determination to chase our dreams? Are we willing to do the hardwork? Sometimes before we move to the chasing dreams or work hard (and smart) issue, the most vital question will be "DO WE DARE TO DREAM?" It doesn't sound that easy. Only if we start to dream, we can start to put the blueprint in our mind. Only having the blueprint in mind that we are able to put it into actions, give best effort, and see it turn to reality. That easy? See the word "give best effort", that might be the hard part. That's why we have to put determination as one of the ingredients!

Adult's common reaction when hearing their kids' dreams is to laugh. Don't. Please do encourage them, show them the ways, guide them, and let them grow to glow
