Never judge a child’s potential or who he or she might grow up to be…
What starts out life looking like a common weed often grows into the most breathtaking flower in the garden.
We all need time to set our roots firmly in the soil and blossom into our grown-up self.
What I love about posts like this one is, because they are brief, they invite the reader to reflect on the message and discover in their own memories how very true the message really is. Now that time has passed, they can see the truth of every child’s potential in the remarkable adults they have become. Beautiful.
I agree. Judging children is a cruel thing to do. There are so many changes and lessons a child will go through before they reach their best. But telling them that they are worthless and will amount to nothing, is the motivation some use to be extraordinary.
