Life's Tragedy is that we get old to soon and wise too late.
Benjamin FranklinWhy since I am myself subject to birth, ageing, disease, death, sorrows and defilement, do I seek after what is also subject to these things? Suppose, being myself subject these things, seeking danger in them, I were to seek the unborn unageing, undiseased, deathless, sorrowless, undefiled, supreme surcease of bondage, the extinction of all these troubles.

John WoodenBe Silent yourself that will induce Silence in others. Do not fall into the habit of shouting talking long and loud. Reduce contacts to the minimum. Carry with you an atmosphere of quiet contemplation wherever you happen to be. The less you talk the more will become your mental power. With the increase in your mental capacity there will be increase in your power of discrimination too. Consequently you will give up individual discrimination . Because of this you will begin to consider the good of the world at large rather than your own individual welfare. You must cultivate such broad feelings from this young age itself.

I want my kids to understand that so when somebody puts an obstacle in front of you and says you can't do something you don't back down. You push through that to get something accomplished. I tried to set that tone for her even at an early age. She's competitive already at the age of 3. Seriously.
