To discipline a child is human

It does not mean punish the child; to discipline is to teach.

Children misbehave not because they want to. They do so because they don’t have the mental capability to behave well all the time.

Ironically, a child’s misbehaviour shows that they feel safe around you and that they trust you.

As a parent, it’s your role to know why your child is behaving badly. The key is to identify their current emotional state. Ask yourself the why, what and how questions.

Why does the child feel or act this way?

What lesson do you want to teach the child at this moment?

How do you want to teach this lesson?

Playing safe is a sure bet to losing

Hate, tribalism and bigotry should not stop you. Shake them off and pity the haters. They have so much to learn.

Settle your nerves, go for a walk, run, get a shrink, do whatever you need to do. Ignore all the negative voices.

Although, if there is one person you cannot ignore, that would be your spouse. Trust me on this one.

No one who played safe has ever made it big. Be clear to work harder and longer. This is a guarantee for crushing it.

You should write a book

The grave is the best place to find the best ideas because most people die with their wonderful ideas.

Certainly, intelligent people with ideas worth spreading will ensure their knowledge has a chance of changing someone’s life or changing a whole generation if they put it down in a book.

A self-published ebook will do just fine.

I am seriously considering it.

Wants vs needs

As humans, we all have things we want and a lot of the time we will not get them. This is perfectly normal.

On the other hand, the things we need, we can get them or we already have them.

The challenging part people struggle with is to define what they want or need. Starve your wants, prioritize your needs.
