Many parents are anxious to see their children become scholars rather than men and women of character. Only those parents who prefer that their children should develop good qualities rather than just academic distinction are truly worthy of esteem. Education is part of life, but it is not the be all and end all of life.
Virtues are the real backbone of life.
Having a child is a great responsibility, but it is also a wonderful gift and a great privilege. A young life has been entrusted to your care. The physical nurturing of the child is only part of the task. Guiding that small being into becoming a self-reliant, honourable young man or woman is the real challenge. It needs a lot of perseverance, a lot of self control, and a lot of patient guidance.
