QUOTES AND QUIPS; BLOG # 2289; FRI MAR 12, 2021

 

THE COMEBACK:

QUOTES AND QUIPS? WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

PEOPLE MAY NEVER QUOTE YOU BUT THERE ARE MANY QUIPS SURROUNDING YOU.

THE MESSAGE:

Children are a most precious gift. Hopefully they will always develop with 2 deserving parents. If a separation or a divorce should occur then it is imperative that both parents are still active in the children’s growth with the support of each other. Children need a mother and a father in their lives. 

TONY TODAY:

TEN COMMANDMENTS ON RAISING CHILDREN:

1. Make sure your partner is onside and capable.
2. Be sure you are as well.
   
   
   
3. Nurture and sacrifice must be a priority.
4. Establish a solid support system at home. Help a child feel competent and confident.
   
   
   
5. Provide consistency, dedication, and patience.
6. Encourage the values of effort, character and special skills.
7. Emphasize the power of reading and appreciating differences in others.
   
   
   
8. Set standards for schooling, bedtime and curfew and have meals together as a family.
9. Demonstrate and recognize kindness always.
10. Always encourage familial conversation.

QUOTES FOR PARENTS:

• If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent. -Bette Davis
• Children are educated by what the grown-up really IS and not by his TALK. -Carl Jung
• It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. -Frederick Douglass
• The best way to make children good is to make them happy. -Oscar Wilde
• If a child lacks role models his amoral behaviours can be sure to develop. -Tony

QUIPS ON THE WORD ‘BACK'

• BACK STAB: If a comment  is true, it must be directed as a ' FRONT STAB’.
• BACK TRACK; Despite man’s attempt to achieve the impossible by having reunions and creating historical studies, It cannot be done. I believe, if man could go back in time and tried to correct his mistakes or develop new concepts, that his behaviours would not change significantly.
• TALK BACK: Shouldn’t this be ’TALK FRONT’?
• BACK OFF!: Would this would be better stated as ’SPIN OFF’ (Turn and leave!)
• BACK AGAIN: Does this imply boredom? If so then wouldn’t “Oh no not you again” be more clear. 

QUIPS ON TIME: 

• "Time heals all wounds". Certainly this is not true when it comes to emotional pain.
• "Time flies” Does it fly like a pigeon? Does it spend more time on the ground than in the air?
• "There’s never been a better time”. Does this ever get stale?
• “Time will tell” Time doesn’t always make a difference. People are stubborn and by the time they pass on, nothing may  have changed.
• “One Moment in Time” Is there really a moment when we are in charge of our lives?
• “Time to say Goodbye” Does this last forever in one’s life?

THE MUSIC:

Barbra Streisand> you’ll never walk alone
