Hi,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your additional quotes. I agree 100% with Dr. Hiam Ginnot when he said," Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes and impression." This just really confirms the point that we are our children's role models and we need to set good example and teach them right the first time. Thanks for all your quotes.
Hello Kiara,
ReplyDeleteJust like Nicole, I love the same quote. I've always had this in my head that children are a product of the adult around them. Someone rightly said children are like sponge, ready to absorb every information around them, so we've got to be careful how we influence these kids- negatively or positively. You've got some nice quotes here
Hi Kiara,
ReplyDeleteI love the post from, Lyndon B. Johnson, “Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity” This quote is so true. The ability for anyone and everyone to go out and get the education that they want, in the field that they are interested in, I just find this as such amazement. Most people do not even realize just how lucky that we are that we have the choice to get the best education that is out there for us. We just have to set our minds to the fact that we are worth increasing our education and put our whole heart into it.
