...too can teach us a lesson or two.
Some concluding thoughts. You might have come across the following quote "Do not prepare the road for the children; prepare the children for the road", it is credited to Tim Elmore. Here's his original quote.
"Prepare your child for the path, instead of the path for your child”, Tim Elmore. Keep the following in mind, there are three types of intelligence you need to be familiar with. They are Intelligence Quotient (IQ); Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Social Quotient (SQ)
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) this is the measure of your "comprehension ability", for example, the ability to solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters. Emotional Quotient (EQ) on the other hand is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to
time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate. While Social Quotient (SQ) is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.
People with higher EQ & SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ; but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize or emphasize on improving IQ level while, EQ and SQ are played down, ignore or given very little attention.
A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ. Your EQ represents your character; Your SQ represents your charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three quotients; but more especially your EQ and SQ.
This is because EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other. Here's the point, relating it to the quote above by Tim Elmore and I'll repeat it in the end. If you're a parent, this is for you. Please don't teach your child(ren) only to be IQ minded; but also to be EQ and SQ.
There is a 4th type of intelligence, you can add to the list if you know more please. This fourth quotient represent a new paradigm, called the AQ. That is, Adversity Quotient (AQ), this is the measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without
osing your mind. A-ha! Someone relates with this. Yes, some of us already know how to cope through adversity and as a result, we are able to come out of rough times in one piece. Adversity Quotient determines who will give up in the face of troubles, who will abandon their family
or who will consider suicide.
Regrettably, so many have drowned in depression as a result of one rough moment after another in their lives and that led to them losing control and giving up too early as they give in to commiting suicide. Very sad.

There's no better way to end this [thread] than to call you to act. I enjoin you to start developing yourself today, seek new opportunities to be a better version of yourself and know that nothing will change, until we ourselves change.

Because "Nemo dat quod non habet' which means, 'you cannot give what you do not have'.You let me add, read books.

of punishment, the same with reading; don't punish your child with books, explore areas like sport, art/music, farming, coding; Wow! That brought to mind the story about the 10 year old Nigerian girl doing exploits in the UK with - The computers. That's the best I can say it.
While you take them to prestigious, 'best' and indeed expensive schools in the world, in order to develop their IQ, take interest in developing their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.
So, in the end,
So, in the end,
it is not all about the degrees, or the prestigious awards you collect for being the best or being luckily positioned; but what you do with them and there is no limit to what the human mind can accomplish.

Look at the eagles or the ants, listen to the birds as they chirps and the
dogs as they bark and so on. There's a lesson.
So, "whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men..." "whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence,

...if there's anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Colossians 3:23; Philippians 4:8)
