Train a Child

Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Plato

See and Accept

If you can see and accept that you create your own stress according to how you are responding, you will then see that there is something you need to unlearn as well as learn. The old response needs to be unlearned, and a new response needs to be learned.

Make A Mistake

Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it--immediately.

Steven Covey

Recognize Each Other

It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.

Blossom

Learn to accept the bad, as it is part of life, but don’t let it become part of your being. It is a moment in time, something to be learnt from and released. Exhale darkness, inhale brightness and you will live in a happier place, ready to blossom.

Mistakes of Others

Learn from the mistakes of others. There's an old Zen proverb that states: "It takes a wise man to learn from his mistakes, but an even wiser man to learn from others."

Be Optomistic

Be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.

Learn to Adjust

Learn to adjust your thought process. Circumstances change, so do moods, feelings, impressions, ideas and people!

Positive People Take Risks

Sometimes parents are not up to the job of parenting and they make mistakes. You could not help what happened to you as a child but you can learn to take responsibility as an adult. You can shape your future but only if you learn to be brave and take risks. Positive people take risks even if they are scared.

Start Fresh

Today is a new day. The past doesn't matter except to learn the important lesson. Look forward. Focus on the future and what you will achieve.

True teachers not only impart knowledge and method but awaken the love of learning by their own reflected love.

- Robert Grudin

Accept things as they are, people as they are. Don't demand anything. Don't put conditions: "Only when you do this does it prove that you love me." Rise above all this. Our attitude, our approach, our love should be unconditional. Simply accept people for what they are, as they are. Learn to love everyone and everyone will love you, no doubt. Then, life is worth living. The world becomes a heaven on earth for you.

Learn to Reach Out

Not many of us are blessed with a family who has always been there for us. Not many of us have loads of
friends whom we can count on to see us through the darkest and loneliest of  days.

But few of us could ever complain that we have not been given any opportunity to reach out and care for people within our reach.

We need not look far to find lonely people. We need not walk long to brighten someone else’s day. We
need only to open our eyes and see. We need only to open our hands and reach out. How many people do
you meet everyday? Whether you are working at a business district, a wet market, a school, a shop, a construction area, a store, or even at home, there are always people within your reach. And sometimes,
all we need is a smile to bring a little warmth in another person’s day.

Learn to Accept Constructive Criticism

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger. ~ Franklin P. Jones ~ [Source]

When one has done something, comments and criticisms come fast and furious. Depending the person’s mood during the comments, it can be harsh when the person had a bad day and just found the action or post irritating.

Learn

At other times, someone will tell you something on how to improve it when you thought it was the right way to do it. Constructive criticism consists of what was wrong and how to make it better the next time round. It isn’t easy to accept criticisms and one is always on the path of learning to accept constructive ones.

Listen

At work, your boss tells you that you have made a client angry by rejecting the changes outright. He starts to let you know that this client is an important client and even if the client is making changes that can’t be done, the discussion could have gone another way. You start to lash out at your boss. However, it gets you nowhere. You are the only one who can make the changes to yourself. Start by holding your tongue and listen.

Accept

You can’t just change habits overnight. You need time for it. No one is perfect and don’t berate yourself for making mistakes. Accept the criticisms. Life is short. Wasting it on getting angry gets one nowhere.
