TED Blog: The neurons that shaped civilization: VS Ramachandran on TED.com
A new take on an old poem, "Children Learn What They Live"
If children live with criticism
They learn to condemn.
If they live with hostility
They learn to fight.
If they live with ridicule
They learn to be shy.
If they live with shame
They learn to feel guilty.
If they live with tolerance
They learn to be patient.
If they live with encouragement
They learn confidence.
If they live with praise
They learn to appreciate.
If they live with fairness
They learn justice.
If they live with SECURITY
They learn to TRUST and have FAITH.
If they live with approval
They learn to be like their "SELF".
If they live with acceptance and friendship
They learn to find love in the world.

Favorite quotes, interesting videos, inspiring stories, and even a bit of humor are included for the readers enjoyment.

Life doesn't need to be so hard, and even when it is, a few laughs along the way certainly don't hurt.

One of my MOST Favorite Quotes

* "KNOWLEDGE and WISDOME SHALL BE THE STABILITY OF THY TIMES." Old Testament Prophet Isaiah

- You can see a photo of this most beautiful Art Deco window in Rockefeller Plaza, NYC that displays and accents this moving quote from the Old Testament. It brought tears to my eyes when I first glaced at it. Timeless....as true then as it is now.

- I hope it speaks something personal to each of you in a special way...make your own meaning out of it, and how it applies to you.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

"AN EYE FOR AN EYE MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND" Mahatma Ghandi

- "I am not what happened to me ~ I am what I choose to become." Carl Jung

* "Success is getting what you want; Happiness is wanting what you get."

"The greatest calamity is not to have failed, but to have failed to try."

- "If at first you don't succeed, you are running about average."

*"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."
