Quiet Reflections

[Arthur Little]

If a child lives with CRITICISM ... he/she will learn to CONDEMN
If a child lives with RIDICULE ... he/she learns to be SHY
If a child lives with TOLERANCE ... he/she learns to be PATIENT
If a child receives ENCOURAGEMENT ... he/she learns to have CONFIDENCE
If a child is given PRAISE ... he/she will learn to APPRECIATE
If a child is taught FAIRNESS ... he/she will learn JUSTICE
If a child feels SECURE ... he/she will learn to have FAITH
If a child has APPROVAL ... he/she will learn to LIKE HIM/HERSELF
If a child is taught ACCEPTANCE & FRIENDSHIP, he/she learns to find LOVE in the world.

........ ! However, by the same token ... ... it's worth remembering:

There is so much GOOD in the WORST of us
And so much BAD in the BEST of us
That it DOESN'T BECOME ANY of us
TALKING ABOUT the REST of us
