"Sharper Image"

This article is reproduced from my book, “My Dearest Children”. It can be found on Chapter 17 of the said book.

Sharper Image is the name of a store. One may think that this store would be selling prescription glasses or would be a photo-developing studio. But this shop offers uncommon but useful gadgets like a beach metal detector, a traveler’s neck pillow, a computer night lamp, a relaxing massager, etc. I can imagine a life-learning center called “Sharper Image”. I

ts mission will be to develop children into sharper images! Here, parents can mold their children to become models that do not go out of style, enable them to function without battery change, and program their brains to aim for the best! With proper discipline and training, these children will be prepared to face life “on their own”! As they are sent out into the world, their lives will exemplify what their parents have equipped them with. Guided by proper values, great positive attitude, and good morals, they will definitely be the sharper image of their parents! My Dearest Children, You are not expected to follow the career “footsteps” of your parents. You have your own lives to live. You have a choice! As I have always said, choose a path that you will be happy in, will be passionate traveling on, and above all, one wherein you are willing to pay the price for success. Look at yourself in the mirror one day and say “I like what I see, may my children improve on it, not by “radical plastic surgery”, but by the fine lotions of added wisdom, care, compassion, spirituality, understanding, and love!” My Dearest Children, be the sharper image of us!
