Three Is A Good
Number
“I wonder how
many children will make their way to me,” Mariko wonder to herself. “Three is a good number.”

A Family Affair
I gave this
painting to Mariko in 2009, when my sister-in-law announced to our family that she
was expecting her first child. She and my brother had been married barely a
year and they were living in Shanghai in the house of yet another of my
brothers.
My brother and
Mariko now have two children. A few months back while on a different trip here in Hong Kong,
the topic was broached about having a third child. There was a long and affectionate debate
weighing the pros and cons.
But the decision was
largely made when Mariko pointed up to this painting called Three is a Good
Number and said with a slight hint of victory in her voice, “but Da Jie, you
predicted we would have three.”
And so now a third
is on the way.
Today I am alone
in their house painting and I thought Three
is a Good Number needed some
repairs. It is chipped from their many
moves.
Update: the third....Julian Suzuki Brantingham
Lovely story. B
ReplyDeleteThis is how my friend Wesley Virgin's story starts with this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
These are the EXACT same secrets tons of famous people (notably those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know that you use only 10% of your brain.
That's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps this expression has even taken place IN YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain 7 years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and with $3 on his bank card.
"I'm very fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those types of questions, isn't it so?
Your very own success story is going to start. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
