Chyzv88 Sorry you had to miss you reunion, it would've been fun seeing old friends. I guess as we mature confidence comes with it. We know a lot more from what we knew in high school. We know that the things we feared when we were young were not as fearful, as...

This is not a "regret" thing. Since most of us have experienced life and work and family, our sights have broadened. We have discovered our strengths and weaknesses, we have discovered things, experiences we never have thought we...

Chyzv88 Hi, I envy good writers too. I would like to be able to express more of what is in my mind! and I'm glad though this site was kind of jump-starting this interest of mine.

When I was in grade school, I know of somebody who was top of the class from first grade to the fourth grade. However, in the fifth grade she was only number two. Her parents were mad about this. My children now are in grade...

Chyzv88 When the child fails though, or when he gets lower than the average, encourage and I guess personally helping him out in his studies would also help.

Chyzv88 As I'm seeing, all is relative! What happens to another doesn't happen to another! I'm happy to know you've gained a good perspective on how your mom trained you! I hope the youth of today would have perceptions like yours. Keep UP the good work!

Chyzv88 Hi checapricorn, Hope you'll have good kids! I read an article that says those that thrive better in life and in their chosen professions are the average ones! I guess now a days EQ (emotional quotient) is as or even more important than IQ. I agree also on...

Chyzv88 Yes, experience I guess is the best teacher! Schools need to give opportunities for students to apply theory into practice. Teachers need to be resourceful and creative for students to have a full experience in school. As parents we also have to open the...

Chyzv88 I guess we really cannot remove the feeling of pride whenever they excel in everything they do. However, even if they don't, we need to be there for them. Sometimes,even as narvsgarrison pointed out even our best doesn't produce the result we wanted.

Chyzv88 Hi marlsv3, thanks for your well thought response! I agree with you when you said that the opinion of the parents really matter to the children. A lot of troubled youth now are actually not dumb, in fact a lot are smart, but they feel they fall short of the...

Chyzv88 Thanks so much, wingsanctuary for the encouragement! It's not fun having to win always, it's not so much fun, either to be at the losing end, always! That becomes of me when I get discouraged! Thanks again for pushing me to win this time!
