For Children:
One life's plan is during childhood, one year's plan is
in the spring, and a day's plan is in the morning. If you do not
learn during childhood, you will be ignorant enough not to know
anything in old age. And, if seeds are not sown in the spring, there
will be no hope of gathering a harvest in the fall. If you do not
get up early in the morning, you cannot decide what is to be done
that day.
For Teenagers:
Reading books is fundamental to making a family rich and
noble. Following principle is fundamental to keeping it so. Being
frugal and diligent is fundamental to managing the household. And,
being in harmony and obedient is fundamental to bringing peace to
the house.
Problems with Video Game Use:
There
are many problems that are caused by playing too many
video games. Most commonly, focus problems in children develop
because they become "addicted" to the fast moving pace of games. The
pace allows children to concentrate on smaller bits of information
in order to keep up with the game or other players. Children also
tend to make gameplay the center of their entertainment, which takes
away from other important aspects of life. Many study skills,
relationship skills, self control, discipline, and concentration
skills are replaced by mastering video games and uncovering secrets
within the game. Some of the more violent games can quietly
desensitize the child to certain actions that are unacceptable in
any social setting. The best way of changing this type of behavior
is to limit the amount of gameplay time and encourage more reading
and quality time with family and friends. By starting now, children
can learn good habits that will help make their life successful in
the future.
I want my students to:
- Be grateful that you are alive
- Always be warm-hearted
- Greet everyone warmly
- Appreciate the small things
- Read books when you have time
- When on the telephone, apologize for your mistakes
- Forgive someone else's mistakes when on the telephone
- Always smile
- Acknowledge your faults
- Don't hurt those weaker than you
- Forget matters that have ended
- Stay peaceful and clear as you get older
- Live a simple life
- Work hard as you own the business
- Practice what you preach
- Love everything, even the smallest wild flower
- When driving, appreciate other driver's courtesies
- Be grateful to your servers (in restaurants)
- Try your best to show love, even to those you dislike
- Think of the other person before you speak
- Show sincere praise often. A dolphin can learn tricks with a trainer's positive speech
- Be more giving, don't be greedy
- Try your best, no one is perfect
- Do the right thing. Doing wrong hurts others and yourself
- Don't simply read these ideas, put them into daily practice
