Anak belajar dari hidup

Dorothy Law Nolte

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan kritik,
Ia belajar untuk menyalahkan.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan rasa benci,
Ia belajar bagaimana berkelahi.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan ejekan,
Ia belajar menjadi pemalu.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan rasa malu,
Ia belajar merasa bersalah.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan toleransi,
Ia belajar menjadi sabar.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan semangat,
Ia belajar kepercayaan diri.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan pujian,
Ia belajar untuk menghargai.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan rasa adil,
Ia belajar tentang keadilan.

Bila seorang hidup dengan rasa aman,
Ia belajar memiliki iman.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan persetujuan,
Ia belajar menyukai dirinya sendiri.

Bila seorang anak hidup dengan penerimaan dan persahabatan,
Ia belajar mencari cinta dalam dunia.

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
