I attended at the science club activity with my daughter. Today’s activity was to create a heart object on a wooden board. Each child was provided a hammer, nails, and a wooden board. They made their artwork by themselves. It was cute to observe small children holding a hammer and hitting the head of the tiny nails on the wooden board. I heard their cute “ouch!” whisper from time to time throughout the room. I think almost everybody hit their finger once or twice. They didn’t give up. They just kept going on. Toward the end, I hardly heard the “ouch!” whisper anymore. Everybody somewhat got the hang of using a hammer.
The instructor taught the children to hold the hammer toward the edge, rather than holding the middle part. By holding the edge of the hammer, they can use the weight of the hammer head to hit the head of nails without using their muscle. The instructor mentioned it as “work smarter, not harder.”
I liked the way the instructor taught. She naturally taught the tip that the children can use in their daily life.
I always think to do everything in my daily life efficiently in time and efforts. I had this habit since I was small. Maybe my parents naturally taught me this.
Before starting anything, it is good to think first about the most efficient way in time and efforts. Just taking a long breath will do. You are valuable energy. Time is valuable energy. Why don’t we use our valuable energy in the most efficient way?
