From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes remorse.
Life is a Mirror
Life is a mirror. If you frown at it, it frowns back. If you smile at it, it returns the greeting.
Make a Life
Students are always told that they need to learn so they can have a successful career. However teach them that we make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.
Personal Breakthroughs
All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.
Fix Your Problems
Spend your energy on how you can fix a problem and not who to blame for it.
At Once
One can’t do everything at once, but one can do something at once.
Kids, Money, and Capitalism
Kids can learn about money, hard work and capitalism. Some parents don’t believe in giving their kids an allowance. Instead they give their kids a commission. If the children work doing chores, they get paid. If they don’t work, they don’t get anything. Children learn very quickly how capitalism works throughout the United States. They realize if they want something, they will have to work hard to earn it.
The pay range could be around $1 to $5 per chore. Some increase the amount as the child grows and the work becomes more difficult. If you decide to go this route, make sure the commission amount is appropriate for your family and budget.
Courtesy
Courtesy opens many doors.
Constant Praise
Studies show that children who are constantly praised do not succeed more than those who are not. In fact these kids become risk-averse. This means they haven’t developed a strategy for handling failure.
Skipping or Delaying Vaccines
Skipping or delaying vaccines puts a young child at risk for serious diseases. Childhood is a time in life when these illnesses are the most dangerous.
