Aslan was a curious five-year-old boy
with big eyes. The times he spent with his mother were the most precious
moments in the world for him. His mother was supportive of his curiosity. One
day, while preparing breakfast with his mother, he saw two cups of tea on the
table. Tea was his mother's favorite drink. Aslan on the other hand was always
drinking milk at breakfast. Drinking tea was a very rare treat to him. He
didn’t ask who the other tea was for.
"Aslan, would you like to drink
tea too?" his mother asked, looking at him lovingly.
Aslan nodded his head in surprise.
His mother took out a small cup and poured Aslan some tea. Steam was rising
from the cup. Aslan impatiently held the cup and took a sip.
"Careful, it's hot!" his
mother said. But it was too late. Aslan had already taken a sip. He suddenly
pulled back. His eyes were wide with shock and his lips were trembling.
He dropped the cup on the floor.
"It's too hot!" he shouted.
The glass shattered on the floor.
Thinking that his mother would yell
at him, Aslan was surprised to get the opposite reaction;
His mother smiled and said softly,
"Let me show you how to cool down the tea…” She slowly began to blow on
the tea. Aslan watched his mother carefully. Then he tried to drink the tea in
the same way. This time it didn't hurt.
Everyone
can make mistakes, the important thing is to learn from them.
“I'm a grown up! I'm drinking tea!”
Aslan thought to himself.
Everything was new to him; how
exciting it was to grow and discover!
That morning, they had a long
conversation at the breakfast table. Aslan told how he had made new friends.
His mother shared her childhood memories with him.
These moments, shared over some hot
tea, were unforgettable for Aslan.
Finally, when they finished their
tea, his mother turned to him and said: “Sometimes you might make some small
mistakes like this while growing up. But the important thing is to learn from
everything that happens to us.”
Aslan thought about his mother's
words and nodded with a sincere smile.
That day, Aslan learned not only how
to drink tea, but also how to be patient, how to learn from his experiences and
much more...
Years and years passed. Aslan
remembered that day again and asked his mother the following question.
“Mom, why didn't you get angry with
me the day I broke your favorite teacup?”
“If
I had been angry with you that day, I would have scared that little lion in you
and you would have lost your courage to learn, to discover in life.”
Getting angry and being frustrated
with people for their mistakes does not solve our problems in life.
The
Experiential Design Teaching says: “There is a
difference between bringing up and raising children.”
The key to raising a child is to act according to their needs rather than our
desires.
In hopes of doing the right things to
raise beautiful generations...
Experiential Design Teaching is the knowledge of reality that enables people to design their future through past experiences. It offers individuals strategies they need in order to solve their problems and achieve their goals.

To know the answer ask that "one" person!"
