Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 245. Well the quote today is from Ann Landers. You
know the famous advice columnist. She, she actually did die now. But she was
famous for many, many years giving advice to many, many people and this is actually
a quote from her. So let's take a look at the quote today. "It is not what you do
for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that
will make them successful human beings. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.
What Ann Landers is trying to say with this quote is that you must teach
children proper behavior and independence. If you can teach proper
behavior in most cases , it should lead to handling problems in life, facing challenges
and moving in the right direction of success. Or at least hopefully, I'm sure
people have to help them along the way, but at least that's the idea. Let's
continue here. You must also teach independence you
won't be around forever and you won't be able to be with them for 24 hours a day
in the future. So they have to learn how to figure out how to do it on their own.
Let's continue. The lessons you teach them are a base. A base, a foundation for
which they can pull or take from to survive and prosper in ... on their own in
the future. Anyway, that's basically what she's trying to say to you. Anyway, I hope
you got it. I hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
