Then, we will genuinely feel the value of what we are doing.. and keep transforming ourselves towards greater and greater happiness. If your child truly could see the value of study, trust me, nobody would have to tell her\/him to focus. It is just that, these things should be lived as examples.. a parent can inspire their children and this is the best education they can give. The world is full of people trying to change others, but how many can actually touch life themselves? What is the value of changing others if you yourself can\u2019t feel life? Great conquerors conquered millions of people.. and their empires collapsed when they died.. and most of what they accomplished amounted to creation of misery for others. But.. can\u2019t one person who could touch life within himself.. touch the hearts of so many without doing nothing to directly change\/control them?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-mb--0 qu-display--inline\"><span>An example could be.. if you can embark on a project that you truly value and make it a reality in the best time for yourself.. lovingly.. in touch with life.. you would learn so much doing that about life.. and your kid could see you and be inspired to do something similar.. and learn so much about life in the process, too.
