Inspire Someone's Dream!


A caring mum would like to stimulate inspiration of her little son’s dream on piano.

She brought her son to attend a concert by the great Paderewski.

Feeling bored waiting at his seat, the little boy left and wandered away.

Seeing a door marked “No Admittance”, he promptly entered.

He found himself on a stage with a grand piano in the center.

His attention was drawn to the beautiful grand piano with its glistering white ivory keys.

Suddenly the curtains parted and a sportlight lit on the piano.

Sitting on the piano stool and reaching for the ivory keys, the little boy started playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

The Audience’s amusement turned to curiosity when the world famous pianist entered the stage.

He quickly walked to the piano and whispered in the boy’s ear:

“Don’t quit.”

“Keep playing.”

“You are not alone.”

Paderewski sat down beside the little boy and put his arm around the boy.

The great pianist began playing a counter medley as he whispered more words of encouragement to the little boy.

The audience was so fascinated that they couldn’t recall what else the great master played.

It only takes just a few moments to inspire someone’s dream – especially someone who looks up to you for encouragement.

The next time you see someone reaching for their dreams, come alongside with them and whisper in their ears:

“Don’t quit.”

“Keep playing.”

“You are not alone.”
