LOVE, Kloudiia

We can be very anal about certain things or people in our lives. Friends give us their opinions, parents tried to stamp their feet down and use their authority to sway our views, but still, we stood our ground. We refuse to change our minds.

Until one day, that thin wire in our heads snapped. We see the light.

It only takes one such moment – the paradigm shift. Similarly, it only takes one person or one event to make all the difference.

I remember how my sister stirred my interest in reading out loud. I soon overtook her in English oral results.

I remember how just one Chinese teacher got me hooked to my mother tongue and thence I began to score big time for all my Chinese exams.

I remember how just witnessing one lion dance competition by accident left me in such an awe that I get super excited whenever I see one lion dance now.

I think, many times in life, it doesn’t take that much effort or that many people to cause a paradigm shift. When the time is right, it just takes one.
