據說世界上最幸福的時刻是初爲父母的那一刻。比如facebook的小紮，他自當爹以來，除了捐出價值450億美元建立慈善基金作爲送給女兒的禮物外，還加入了曬娃大軍，並投入到“贏在起跑線”的早教中。在facebook上貼出了一張夫妻爲女兒讀繪本的照片(他們選擇的繪本居然是《嬰兒版量子物理學》
是真的嗎？
一位生活在新加坡的中國麻麻受到啓發，與其選擇別人創作的繪本，爲什麽不自己創作？言傳身教，豈不是更有效率？于是這位碩士麻麻把自己看的書提煉出精華，憑自己的經驗和體會，用超有愛的方式，創意的手法，繪制了一系列的雙語漫畫作爲寶寶出生的見面禮。
親愛的寶貝Gem Ng,
你已在媽媽肚子裏38周，很快就要出來和粑粑麻麻見面了。我們一直在考慮要送給你一個見面禮，這個禮物一定要有趣，而且有意義。
有一天，粑粑和麻麻聊到了各自成長的過程，發現我們有個共同點——因爲缺乏家長的引導，導致情商低，做事效率低，性格有很多缺陷 (幸好我們的智商還好，別擔心)。我們比別人多走了不少彎路，麻麻花了近10年的時間，才能和別人站在平等的競爭起跑線上，有了溫暖的家庭和親愛的Gem bunny.
麻麻粑粑想把一些讓我們感觸很深的和收益匪淺的人生經驗和習慣，用漫畫的形式表現出來，比如幸福的方法，高效能人士的習慣，高情商的溝通，愛的語言，男女的區別(生理心理)…….
其實麻麻一直學習中。回想當年，若是能早一點接觸到這些方法和理論，麻麻粑粑的人生可能會相對多一些選擇和擁有更豐富的體驗層次。
Gem bunny, 有人說讓孩子自己去跌跌撞撞獲得自己的人生經驗會更好，麻麻認同這種觀念。只是寶貝成長的過程，少不了父母的正確引導，引導不是幹預，分享不是強迫接受，關鍵在于把握這個度。麻麻能做的就是引導和分享，至于Gem bunny，你的路還是要自己走，棱角還是由你自己選擇是否需要磨平。
麻麻粑粑只是希望你擁有幸福的能力，去收獲屬于自己的精彩人生。所以，這第一次的分享就是關于幸福的方法。媽媽提起多年未動的畫筆，用最原始的方法，最簡單的工具創作出來的漫畫雖然很粗糙，希望Gem bunny未來還是能從中獲得營養。
請記住，麻麻粑粑超愛你的。
吻你

My dear Gem bunny,
So exciting we’ll meet you soon, counting down the days you’ll find your way out from mummy’s belly.
We’re preparing a special meaningful present for our dear Gem to welcome you into our world.
One day, Daddy & Mummy have a discussion about our childhood and we discovered that we both lack proper guidance while growing up. As a result we both agreed that we have lower emotional intelligence, we lack the knowledge for doing things more efficiently and we have many character flaws. Mummy said, it took her 10 years to be on par with her peers and can finally start her own family & have dear Gem bunny.
Mummy hopes to share with Gem through the comics some life experiences and good habits which has benefited us in our life journey. Such as, the meaning of truly happiness, the habits of highly effective people, love language, man vs. woman (both physically & mentally)…..even now mummy and daddy is still learning in progress. If we had the opportunity to understand these earlier in our lives, we may likely enhance our experience of living and transform the way we live our lives.
Gem bunny, a wise man once said that it’s better to let children go experience their own lives by facing adversities and challenges and we can’t help but agree. But, before baby grows up, parents’ guidance is equally important, guidance is not interfering or forcing our views, the key is to strike a balance. We can only guide and share, So Gem bunny, the road you have to walk by yourself, it’s your decision to choose your path.
We hope you gain the power and ability in your pursue of happiness, live your own exciting life. So, the 1st sharing is about the method of happiness. Mummy didn’t draw comics for many years. she use the simplest way to create, it looks rough, hopefully our bunny Gem can still absorb the nutrients from it.
Just remember, we love you so so so much.
Kiss,
Daddy Stanley & Mummy Christine
