If a child lives with criticism,
he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with fear,
he learns to be apprehensive.
If a child lives with pity,
he learns to feel sorry for himself.
If a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilty.
BUT
If a child lives with tolerance,
he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
he learns to be confident.
If a child lives with praise,
he learns to be appreciative.
If a child lives with fairness,
he learns justice.
If a child lives with acceptance,
he learns to love.
If a child lives with honesty,
he learns what truth is.
If a child lives with recognition,
he learns to have a goal.
If a child lives with security,
he learns to have faith in himself and those about him.
If a child lives with love,
he learns this world is a wonderful place to live in.
