Mulan

I hope that I can be as wise and loving as Mulans father is when she needs his support.

Deeply sad and disappointed in her failed attept at bringing her family honour after a disasterous appointment with the matchmaker, Mulan hides her face in shame.

Lovingly her father looks apon the situation with wisdom and acceptance.

Pointing out how he admires the blossoms at this time, then noting that 'this one is late' brigs a tear to my eye as he is lovingly stating that Mulan's time will come.

Indeed it does and the complimentary quote she earns -

"the flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest of all"

is deserved a she brings honor not just to her family but also to her friends, collegues and country.

Proving that possibly not fitting the mould is a greater gift if we show courage to follow opportunities to step out of our comfort zone.
