Journal 1-Let spoiled kids do manual labour


Let Spoiled Kids Do Manual Labour

REFLECTION

This article has caught my attention on the first scheme tremendously.You know why?Because the contents actually had answered a tough problematic question that evolve among undergraduate students in Malaysia in particular which is unemployed undergraduate students.This article will actually tell us that the strategy should started by the parents themselves.Parents are the basis of human development regardless of mentality,emotion and integrity.The problem that evolve among our youth nowadays is ,the are actually "spoiled".what I mean is they are too pampered.They only know how to earn but not to give.The writer had actually revealed how the parents in Beijing educate their spoiled kids to be a better person.The element that they take in risk is by letting their children to involve in manual labour.Challenging task and tedious chores will be a definite promise once you had volunteered yourself in such programmes ,work,or any labour task.I agree with their style in educating their children because it was proven psychologically when a person was put in tense,naturally they'll try to adapt with the diversity around them.Therefore,by letting these spoiled kids to experienced the challenges and live away from luxurious life ,it will actually help them to survive.As a Malaysian citizen,there's nothing much you can do rather then surviving with skills and expertise that you have in hand,which requires you to be creative and let yourself out of the shell.Maybe some people will say that these method will be quite harsh but believe me,a few years in future,they'll actually admit the truth that challenges in life is the best education.What parents and all of us can do to change this situation is by exposure and encouragement to the young students to face more challenging task.they need to be more creative to explore.Take a risk to explore the rural areas and be the most successful entrepreneurs in future.

Good insights. Probably the PLKN programme should incorporate experiences that will teach youngsters to give more than to demand more.

i think the trainers in plkn must encourage themselves in many things. most of them showed bad attitudes and behaviors.
