Are Paper Qualifications All That They Need?

Many parents view high paper qualification as the most important thing for their children to achieve. They put every effort to make sure they score high grades at every level. It is sad to note that in the midst of chasing this dream, the parents gradually blot out their joy of learning!

I believe it is wiser to focus on building their character and self-confidence, giving them essential tools for the rest of their lives. Why not focus on teaching them how to handle life issues, make wise decisions, ensure that they enjoy learning, and build their self-esteem?

Irony Of Life

I have heard of people who spent their lives working extremely hard to earn much more money than they ever needed. Yet, they could not seem to be able to find time nor live long enough to enjoy it.

What an irony!
