Children
[Kahlil Gibran]

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also The bow that is stable.

Don't try this at home

Dari Lingkungan Hidupnya Anak-anak Belajar

[Dorothy Law Nolte]

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan celaan
Ia belajar memaki

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan permusuhan
Ia belajar menentang

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan cemoohan
Ia belajar rendah diri

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan toleransi
Ia belajar jadi penyabar

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan dorongan
Ia belajar percaya diri

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan pujian
Ia belajar menghargai

Jika anak dibesarkan dengan kasih sayang dan persahabatan
Ia akan terbiasa berpendirian
