Just Thoughts: Each One, Teach One!

By John Wooden
Apr 20, 2008 - 2:07:02 PM

We can talk forever about each one, reach one, but bottom line, it starts with us — parents and believers. It's up to us to make sure our children get it. We must have the right attitude and realize the world owes us nothing, but we do owe our kids. We owe them a good upbringing, an education, love, a positive attitude and a lesson about the Man Above.

And when you hear someone say collectively that our kids don't respect themselves and you know they have kids, let them know that that collectively they also represents their kids.

My father once told me that struggle teaches character, and character teaches strength. Our kids have their struggles and it just may be worst than our struggle growing up. Why do I say this? At least we knew we had a struggle . . . our kids today do not know nor do they want to know.

Am I my brother's keeper? If I truly give a damn, I am! That's why I teach. And if you practice each one, teach one and the only one(s) you teach is your child(ren), then I say the glass is still half-full. And why not be your child's keeper!B good and do something original today, hug a child! John W.
