Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. It will take him, I know a long time, but teach him,if you can, that a dollar earnd is of more value than five of found.i

Teach him, to learn to lose... And also to enjoy winning.Steer him away from envy, if you can, teach him the secret of quiet laughter.i

In a school teach him, it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat...i

Teach him to have faith in his own idea, even if anyone else tells him they are wrong...i

Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with tough.i

Teach him to listen to all men... but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screne of truth, and take only the good one that comes through.i

Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no ashame in tear.i

Teach him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes the fine steel.i
