This is a not a decoration, Jane was telling her son Jason when he was pointing to a circle of coins stick to the wall asking "Mom, what are those on the wall?, Are you decorating the wall?"

Jane explained to Jason these coins were left behind by his grandfather, he had kept them close as these were his first saving from his first pay some 50 years ago when he left his hometown to come to this developing nation for new hope. He had wanted to remind himself why he came here by keeping life simple and saving as much as he can.

Therefore, in order to remind ourselves of grandpa's lesson to us, I have decided to paste these coins onto the wall not as a decoration but as a reminder of his lessons and values.

"Oh I got it now, thanks Mom" Jason replied.
