 ~Teach him the secrets of quiet laughter.  
 IN SCHOOL,
~Teach him that it is more honoured to fail than to cheat. 
~Teach him the wonders of books but also give him quiet time to ponder on the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers of a green hillside. 
~Teach him to have faith in his own ideas even if every one tells him they are wrong. 
~Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with tough people.
~Teach him to laugh when he is sad. ~Teach him that there is no shame in tears. 
~Try to give him the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the bandwagon. 
~Teach him to listen to all men, but teach him also to filter all he hears on the screen of truth and take only the good ones that come through. 
~Teach him to close his ears on a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he is right. 
~Teach him gently but do not cuddle him, because only the taste of fire makes fine steel. 
~Teach him to have courage and be patient, let him have patience and be brave. 
~Teach him always to have sublime faith im his creator and faith in himself too, because there he will always have faith in mankind."   
  To all the teachers, mothers and all lovers of children, this is what every child needs to learn. Help mould a great generation..
