Children Learn What They Live

Students sometimes asked me,"Why must study?" Academically, they differ. Some are really good and do not have any worries to pass exams. While some are so "bad" that parents must send them to many tuitions. There is something that I agree with the teacher from the Japanese show "Gokusen". Study so that we can learn to overcome difficulties in the future.


Children Learn What They Live

If children live with hostility,
they learn to fight.

If children live with ridicule,
they learn to be shy.

If children live with tolerance,
they learn to be patient.

If children live with encouragement,
they learn confidence.

If children live with praise,
they learn to appreciate.

If children live with fairness,
they learn justice.

If children live with security,
they learn faith.

If children live with approval,
they learn to like themselves.

If children live with acceptance, and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.
