What is Courage?

Dearest Ashley,

Remember the book,"What is Courage?" that talks about riding the bike without training wheels for the first time? Checking out the noises in the middle of the night? Sleeping with your lights off and protecting your little sibling in front of bullies, etc?

How about you? What is Courage to you? This is how Mummy sees it in you:

Courage is learning swimming for the first time, didn't cry and now practising hard for your Gold!

Courage is practising wushu in the hot sun and enduring the extreme stretching by teachers and never give up!

Courage is giving a splendid performance despite a spinning headache at the 2 Voices, 10 fingers concert!

Courage is practising the piano everyday on your own and having composed your first music score!

Courage is balancing on the shaky log the 30th time and finally reached the other side after falling 29th times!

Courage is rehearsing hard and giving your best performance on stage and came in 1st in the school's talent contest and 3rd in National Day Inter-class singing contest!

Courage is taking the Space Mountain ride and the tallest slide in Singapore and wanting to go again and again!

Courage is paying attention in class and respecting teachers at all times.

Courage is being fearless in front of new challenges and enjoying the journey in overcoming these challenges.

Courage is being focus at study and at play and not mixing them up.

Courage is becoming the Best that you can be!

Let's work together to overcome the next big challenge in 2 weeks' time. Getting it is a bonus; but what matters most is the effort and focus you put in during these 2 weeks and on the actual day. You have nothing to lose but all to gain. Ashley, only YOU can choose to become the BEST that you can be. Mummy will always sypport you. Cheers!

Love,
Mummy who is very proud to have a Courageous Prince
