TEACH HIM
Must learn, I know; not all people are honest and fair…!
But teach him this too; there is a hero for every scoundrel and a dedicated leader for every selfish politician.
I know it will take time, but if you can teach him,
Of one lira earned,
Teach that you are worth more than five lira found.Teach him to learn how to lose and
and the joy of winning.Lead her away from jealousy. If you are able to,
Teach him the mystery of silent laughter.Let him learn early, bullies seem to win….
If you can, teach him the music of the books.
But recognize him in the quiet times.
The birds in the sky, the bees beneath the sun,
and your flowers on the evergreen slope
to ponder the eternal mystery.Making mistakes in school is more than cheating
Teach him that you are dignified.Teach him to believe his own opinion.
Even if everyone tells her that she’s wrong.Teach him to listen all men
But let the truth overtake all what they say,
and teach to take only the good ones.If you can, even if you are sorry
Teach her how to smile.Teach that there is no shame in tears.
Sell him his brain and strength to the highest bidder,
But never to his heart and soul
Teach them not to put price tags.Teach him to shut up his ears to a crowd of people with noise.
And if he believes he’s right,
Teach him to stand tall and fight.+++ Abraham Lincoln +++
