Kungfu Panda, Learning to Inherit the Distance


Po, the male Panda who is working in the noodles shop by his father's owner, has a dream to become a dragon hero.

Suddenly, in the election of the dragon hero, Po has been enthroned as the dragon hero who is being waited for protecting the village from the revenge of Tai Lung.

Even though we have been laughing much more during the movie playing, but I don't want to tell you more about this film sequel, despite you could take of any kind of aesthetics of this film. When we are seeing this animation film, we like being remembered about several things:

1.The secret to be special is you have to believe you're special.
Po has almost desperate because he could not reveal the secret of the dragon's book, that is an empty sheet. Only his father's advises finally make him back to his impassioned and positive thinking about himself. If we think that we are special, unique, valuable, so we have the power to do many special things.


we can make it if we think we can. Just like master Oogway's said, you just need to believe.

2.Keep chasing your dream
Po, the fat panda that is moving around difficulty, finally able to overcome the dragon hero. How many among of us that be surrendered, fail to pursue our dream because being obstacle of our negative thinking? Like master Oogway's said, "Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift‌". Don't let our selves to be obstacled by the old failure and fierce of the future. Just struggle for nowadays which is given by the God.

3.You won't be able to develop anyone else, before you trusted with somebody's aptitude and your own aptitude.
Master Shi Fu slacks to train Po. He considers that Po has no talent. Although Po could make it, it is impossible to train him in short time. This condition is turning about clearly, after Shi Fu has been sure by his teacher, master Oogway, that Po has really the dragon hero and Shi Fu is the one and only the right person who can train Po.

As a teacher or parent, the important things has to be avoided labeling that the kids have no chance to change. It's so easy to us to assume that other person have no future. The difficulties often make us loosing our pride, that we still available to guide them.

4.Every body learning by their motivation and in their own way
Shi Fu finally find that Po has been motivated and can express his abilities when it's concerned by meals. Po can not endure his exercises like other 5 expert students.

So in every kid. We have to remember there are 3 style in studying that the combination of them make every people have a unique style to study. The way will be different to motivate everybody. When we enforce parity of the study process, certainty there will be underwritten kids.

5.The over pride of our children/students/ or our selves could blind us about the truth condition, even could take them in the wrong direction.

Master Shi Fu really loves Tai Lung, the leopard, his first student which was taken care since a baby. He should create Tai Lung such as his imagination. He is giving Tai Lung a dream to be the dragon hero who has inherited the high of martial art. Unfortunately, Shi Fu does not see the evil side of Tai Lung and must be to pay through, even almost loosing of his live.

We often have a wrong image about our selves / our children / our students. In bad situation, there are people who designed to increase the overcast this lie with only hear information and confirmation just from the several person they trust.

Recently, I meet with 14th years busy delude mother that her son has no autism decease. She prefers to consult with a person who has no autism expert. She discreet the version of the autism expert. She designedly choose the incompetent therapist, so could be take control in her way. Thereupon, the 11th years therapies process has no significant results.

When we have a wrong image, we will go to the wrong direction.

6.Life is full of difficulty, but don't let the difficulty live in your heart.
After betrayed by Tai Lung, Shi fu has no showing his love to his students. The worst thing of bitterness is we can not feel the love and to take and give it to each other.

7.Family is the very important thing
When Po feel down, he's greeted by his father. Thanks for his father, Po finally reveal the secret of the dragon book and become the first the dragon hero. Have we deserved to support our family?

8.We are taught always pray before and after going to bed.
Praying before sleeping is our term to surrender to the God who holds the life, authority the one and only who has rights lethal and to give a life for every human. So the time before the closed eyes, no one able to overcome to reveal the God's secrets, will we still alive for tomorrow or the next day?

Then God brings the spirits back to the sleeping bodies, or He has to let body sleeps forever.

To whom who has chance to wake up in the morning, so the prays resaid to give ode to the God, who wake us up from the while dead along we are sleeping. We are fully conscious that we are not waken up by our selves. This is not because of the alarm which we have set as we want. It's because God has volition to give a chance to his humblers.

Today is the biggest gift in life of every human. Because we never know are we have still a chance for tomorrow. The good things to be done for today is be grateful and contain fill with a lot of amiability in that day, try so hard to decrease the weight of depravity.

Learning from our past it can be, do not retry our oversight and false in the past. Then trying to do the better thing in this day, pretend that today is the last day in live. Because we really never know what will happen the day after today.

"Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift"
(Master Oogway, Kungfu Panda)
