An Inspiration. What could we learn from Caine?

Over the holidays I found this You tube clip about an amazing young man's holiday activities.

What began as creating a home-made arcade using cardboard boxes and cello tape has turned into an online sensation.

Nine-year-old Caine Monroy from Los Angeles spent his summer vacation building an arcade in his dad's auto-repair shop using old cardboard boxes and his imagination.

The only problem was he didn't have one customer, until filmmaker Nirvan Mullick stopped by to buy a doorhandle for his '96 Corolla.

Nirwan was so impressed by the carefully created cut-up games, including minature football and basketball, he decided to make a short film about it.

I felt inspired that Caine would work everyday with independence and persistence . He made what he needed and didn't complain or become discouraged. He made his arcade happen!

Watch the clip and discuss it with your children. What could we learn from Caine?
