...no matter how avid they themselves may be for praise and appreciation, people are often niggardly in giving it to others, however merited it is. - Eleanor Roosevelt

It is, however, the better part of wisdom to regard the mistake as experience which will help guide you in the future, a part, though a painful part, of your education.

Perhaps we have to learn that life was not meant to be lived in security but with adventurous courage

What I have learned from my own experience is that the most important ingredients in a child’s education are curiosity, interest, imagination, and a sense of the adventure of life. You will find no courses in which these are taught; and yet they are the qualities that make all learning rewarding, that make all life zestful, that make us seek constantly for new experience and deeper understanding. They are also the qualities that enable us to continue to grow as human beings to the last day of our life, and to continue to learn.
