Simply, encouraging.

Saw an old friend's dad at the gym earlier on.
Can't recognised him in the first place until he asked me if i was his son friend. Afterall, it has been years. Conversation took place and it really felt heartwarming.

Uncle : How are you?
Me : Fine, thanks.
Uncle : So where you studying now?
Me : Retaking O levels.
Uncle : Oh.
Me : Yeah, never studied.
Uncle : It`s okay, try again. Study hard this year, i believe if you study, you can make it.
Me : Waste another year, haha.
Uncle : What waste year, it's never too late.
Uncle : What do you want in life?
Me : Make it to poly.
Uncle : Yes, then go for it.
Me : Haha, yeah.

And the conversation goes on,

Simple words does lift a heavy heart at times.

With love,
Alan.
