Kanye West cried openly while granting BBC Radio 1 an
interview as they discussed one of his mentors, late fashion professor Louise
Wilson.
"Last time I saw her," West recalled, taking a
deep breath, "we had dinner at Hakkasan, which is my favorite restaurant
in London. And I think she knew that she was going to pass, and she just wanted
to give me some words of advice moving forward, and she was asking me about my
daughter, asked me about my wife...and she said, you know, 'So many students,
they don't give it their all, and the problem is, soon as they do anything
halfway good when they're 2 years old, 3 years old, their parents clap.'"
At which interviewer Zane Lowe promptly started clapping.
Kanye smiled.
"Exactly," the rapper agreed. "They clap. And
she just looked at me and she said, 'Kanye, don't clap.'" Kanye continued,
"I didn't know we were going to lose her...and she told me, she said, you
know, 'Thank you for the times where I came to performances and this has like
really meant a lot to me, with...'"
He then trailed off, covering his eyes with his right hand.
Pretty soon he had both hands covering his eyes as the tears welled up. And he
couldn't continue immediately, so much so that Zane patted him on the knee and
said, "We'll take a minute." Kanye left the studio briefly.
"That's never happened to me in an interview
before," a once again smiling Kanye said as he returned to his seat and
they both settled back down. He looked down and added, "I think I'm
good."

In other words she was saying, why peeps do good things half way n stop is cos parents clapped for them halfway while doing good n stop them from completing the goodness, so they never learnt how to complete something positive. ....oh dear! So don't clap for ur kids.
ReplyDeleteMost parents spoil their kids by letting someone do everything for them, they grow up feeling it's a normal thing for someone to do everything for them, n they become unthankful n useless adults.
