For the early development of a child, you need the love of a mother and the discipline of the father. However, I know many children are not lucky to have the presence of both parents in their lives. These kids need the love and discipline of the parent in their lives. Children learn by doing not by talking. Poor children have the advantage of seeing their parents in action daily. A single mother will be restless until she finds what to eat. This provides great lessons to children. Rich parents who expose their children to action at an early age…
To win, you need the discipline of self-study
Do not wait to be taught by the teacher to learn. Undertake self-study. It is your daily duty to read on your own and then if you can, teach others. When you teach others, you learn better. I have learned a lot in life through self-study than in the classroom. Whether you watch a television show or read a fictional book, be on the lookout for ideas to apply in your life or career. What lessons do you learn from the story being told? Even a show like the Kardashians will teach you lessons of confidence if you watch with…

When I asked for his academic documents, he said the student was outside. I requested him to invite the student and to my surprise, the entire family walked in; the student, mother, elder brother and the father.

Education for life is everyone’s role, part 2
I was told of a mechanic who specialized in Mercedes Benz and worked for close to 10 years in a Company. This man was not a first-class material but well qualified for the job. He once made a mistake and stole some spare parts but got caught. He accepted the mistake and accepted to pay back. This man was liked by many clients because he handled his work with a high sense of responsibility. However, the manager could not keep him around, so, he got dismissed.
