Give me two reasons

I don't want to go to school

One Early morning a mother went to her sleeping son and woke him up.

MOM: "Wake up, son. It's time to go to school."

SON: "But why, Mama? I don't want to go to school."

MOM: "Give me two reasons why you don't want to go to school."

SON: "One, all the children hate me. Two, all the teachers hate me."

MOM: "Oh! That’s not a reason. Come on, you have to go to school."

SON: "Give me two good reasons WHY I *should* go to school?"

MOM: "One, you are FIFTY-TWO years old. Two, you are the PRINCIPAL of the school."

Lots of time, we try to persuade others with reasons 

and we try to motivate us to move on with reasons.

However, from my previous experience,

I could give myself one thousand different reasons

and list out one thousand appleaing and attractive reasons,

I still have no strong desire to give it a try or work hard on it.

Reasons are not enough,

maybe what I need is simple---

one tablespoon feeling toward it,

a certain of curiosity to discover the unknowns,

a bowl of challenge to fight for my dreams,

a pot of happiness within the process of learning 

with the positive attitude.

Don't reason it with me,

I need to feel it,

see it,

taste it,

touch it,

smell it

or even suffer from it.

Thanks for your great insights. I agree with you. Yeah, we make choices according to our preference and capability most of time. Somehow preference and capability are the conbination of reasons and emotions.
