Lessons from a "children song" / Bir "cocuk sarkisindan" dersler

Su anda Harvard'da calisan kuzenimi ziyaret etmek icin Boston'dayim. Evet, kendisi gayet zekidir. Ayrica kendisinin 2 yasinda dunya tatlisi bir oglu var (masallah). Tabii ki kucuk afacan ailenin tek odagi durumunda su an. Sonuc olarak evde en fazla izlenen kanal, Nickeladeon Jr.

Bu kanalda bir sarki duydum bugun. Iki cizgi filmin arasinda elinde gitariyla genc bir kiz cikip bir "cocuk sarkisi" soyledi:

"Kusursuz degilim, ama elimden gelenin en iyisini yapiyorum.
Kusursuz degilsin, ama seni gene de seviyorum."

Hayattaki ugras ve iliskilerimizin iki cumle icinde ne guzel bir ozeti. Ya da olmasi gerektigi halinin.

Right now I'm in Boston, visiting my cousin who works for Harvard School of Public Health. Yes, he's quite smart. And he also has a 2-year-old-and-amazingly-cute son (masallah). Not surprisingly, the little brat is the number one focus for the family. As a matter of fact, the only TV channel they watch most of the time is Nickelodeon Jr.

I heard a song today in this channel. Between two cartoons, there was a "music time" where a young lady took her guitar and played a "children song":

"I'm not perfect, but I do my best.
You're not perfect, but I love you as you are."

Our most memorable efforts and relationships summarized in two sentences. Or summarized the way they should be.

Pupils and teachers (Sufi tradition)

From Paulo Coelho's Blog:

Nasrudin - the eternal character of Sufi legends – was standing on his doorstep when he saw a teacher passing by with his pupils.

“Where are you off to?” he asked.

“We’re going to pray that God puts a stop to corruption, for He always heeds the prayers of children,” answered the teacher.

“A good education would have put an end to that already. Teach the youngsters to be more responsible than their parents and uncles.”

The teacher felt offended: “What an example of lack of faith! The prayers of children can change anything!”

“God listens to all who pray. If he only listened to the prayers of children there wouldn’t be a single school in the whole country, for there is nothing they hate more than their teachers.”
