Children learn what they live
If children learn with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn what envy is.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement, they learn to be confident.
If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to find love in the world.
If children live with recognition, they learn to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn ti be generous.
If children live with honesty and fairness, they learn what truth and
justice are.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves
and kin those around them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn that the world is a nice
place in which to live.
If children live with serentiy, they learn to have peace of mind.
So is that the reason why I am a shy little boy, who always has hate human
days, can trust very few people in his life, who feels like he can't find
anyone special in his life and is always watching his back to make sure
no one is there to trample him down.
