Nobody Can Misunderstand A Child

A Winner Knows How Much He Still Has To Learn, Even When He Is Considered An Expert By Others; A Loser Wants To Be Considered An Expert By Others Before He Has Learned Enough To Know How Little He Knows.

A Person Is Either Himself Or Not Himself; Is Either Rooted In His Existence Or Is A Fabrication; Has Either Found His Humanhood Or Is Still Playing With Masks And Roles And Status Symbols. And Nobody Is More Aware Of This Difference (although Unconsciously) Than A Child. Only An Authentic Person Can Evoke A Good Response In The Core Of The Other Person; Only Person Is Resonant To Person.

Perseverance Is The Most Overrated Of Traits, If It Is Unaccompanied By Talent; Beating Your Head Against A Wall Is More Likely To Produce A Concussion In The Head Than A Hole In The Wall.

Parents - And Teachers Too - Are Woefully Short-sighted When They Try To Protect The Child From His Mistakes, When They Make The "right Answer" More Important Than The Quest For Knowledge And Good Judgment. For What Is Not Learned Within One's Self Cannot Be Learned From Another.

History Repeats Itself, But In Such Cunning Disguise That We Never Detect The Resemblance Until The Damage Is Done.
