Watched Mocking Jay Part 1 over the weekend.
Taken note of a theme that was playing throughout the movie.
To win the War, you need to capture the hearts and minds of the people.
Well, I think this theme applies to many aspects of our life as well.
However, some may have lost the plot...
Win battles, but lose the war.
Read a story on facebook as well, that went something like this:
Mum spent a hard day at work, returned home, and made dinner for the family.
Somehow, mum overcooked and charred the chicken.
During dinner, dad just picked up the charred and overcooked piece of chicken and ate it, no complains, no comments.
Mum even apologised for overcooking the chicken.
Dad however said, honey, I love chicken with some charring.
Later that night, when tucking the kid into bed, the kid asked dad if he really liked charred chicken or was he pretending.
To which dad replied that eating the charred chicken hurt no one, but harsh words will hurt, and besides, mum worked a hard day at work and even put in effort to cook us dinner, so the least we can do is to appreciate her efforts and eat the dinner.
To this, the kid learnt a valuable lesson.
Harsh words hurt people.
Always show your appreciation and gratitude.
Same theme goes to gifting.
Sometimes, it is not the actual gift that matters, it is the thought that truly counts.
And an unexpected gift, goes a long way...
To win the hearts and minds of your gift recipients, surprise them with a thoughtful gift today. It need not be extravagant, need not be expensive. It just have to be thoughtful and sincere.
Happy gifting!
