Life is so unfair. Why would children be born to parents who use and abuse them while those who cherish and ‘garnish’ them remain ‘empty’? Why would the obdurate and cantankerous abound in wealth while the affectionate and generous pauperize? Why would the beautiful and dutiful lack suitors while the bland and unplanned are plenteously patronized? Why would everyday be for the thief’ and not for the chief? Why, why and why?

It is easier to ‘bend’ children than to mend adults.

In patience a child is nuts. If he wants food it has to be there and then. A four-year promise is nonsense to a child of two; the period is outside his fathomable realm; it is twice his age.

To train a child in the way he should go, the trainer has to be in front of the same way providing example.
