Poem and Thoughts

I got this poem somewhere from the net.  You can access the link below for more :

I used to read this some time ago in my early teaching days which I forgot when but it is still clear in mind only that several phrases I have forgotten as it was quite sometime ago.  Now this is something to ponder about the ways how one should  raise their children.

The first paragraph was meant for the negative teaching and how it effects the child and the latter is, yes the positive one.

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight
If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive
If a child lives with pity, he learns to feel sorry for himself
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy
If a child lives with jealousy, he learns to feel guilt

b  u  t 

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident
If a child lives with praise, he learns to be appreciative
If a child lives with acceptance, he learns to love
If a child lives with honesty, he learns what truth is
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith in himself and those about him
If a child lives with friendliness, he learns the world is a nice place in which to live

If you live with serenity, your child will live with peace of mind

What life did you lead when you were a child and what life your child is living now?

Back From Hibernation

Ive been lazy, been addicted to some games for the past few months and neglecting my blog. When Ive been here for the last couple of hours I was surprised to see that some followers have added up to my lists. Hence not to disappoint those buddies who like my entry, you like it dont you? I assumed you do (coughing) now Im back with a new look, I mean with a new theme, forgetting the lazy me in the past. I guess I'll start writing again as my brain is getting rusted nowadays, Im feeling that in my bone. Well life has just been the same on me, only that the days are flying, some things have changed with little bits of this and that. Now its August and moving on to September. It will not be long for Malaysia's National Day which falls on 31st August 2010 this coming Tuesday. Thus Im wishing you all Malaysian out there an advance 'Happy Merdeka Day'.
