I was quite…well..what would be the best term to describe it..ummm..astounded(?) when after dinner today, an officemate of mine told me, “In 20 years time, mark my words, Andrew will be the richest among your brood..”
He was referring to my brother Andrew whom he got to meet during the course of the summer wherein they spent the most part of their summer vacation here in Bacolod. True, he said that Andrew lacks the maturity and behaves quite like a child most of the times (an example of which is that he could easily be bribed by the promise of food..lol), but that officemate of mine saw in Andrew a trait which he saw in my father. From his words, he told me that he had just gotten to know us for a short time, but he saw in Andrew a trait which only he possessed, which he got from our dad. He told me, only Andrew got up early in the morning to get busy with whatever things needed to be done. Meaning, that he was industrious, which unlike us, would be content on spending the time on bed early in the morning, especially if there weren’t any things that immediately needed attending to.
As I pondered on this thought, I smiled. Perhaps, this was the Johari window at work. I have never quite thought of it that way, but knowing how perceptive that particular officemate of mine was, I guess he did have a reason to be able to come up with that inference.
I hope he is right though. All in all, I am hoping that all of us siblings would be successful in whatever endeavor we choose to undertake.
That is the beauty of being in a family. I love my family. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.
