I learnt another valuable lesson this week and would like to share.

We have Wii at home and play whenever we can.

My 4 year old son got a really good score on 1 of the games and I was determined to beat him.  After several attempts, I smashed his record.  I sat back smugly and was confident it wouldn't be beaten.

However, with each attempt he was getting closer.

I was getting nervous.

Then coming home from work 1 night, i was informed he had smashed my record.

I couldn't believe it.

It completely changed my whole view on the game.

When I watched him play again I noticed he had changed his technique.  I copied his technique and beat his record.  He got up and said 'I will beat your record' and I laughed.

Guess what?

He beat it by 5 points and now holds the record.

In summary:

  1. Never give up!
  2. There are only 'perceived' limits.
  3. Consider changing your approach.
  4. Believe in yourself.
  5. Don't mess with a 4 year old.
