🌹🌷🙏 *CHAPTER 26* *VALUES MAKE US STRONGER* -By *Dan Quayle and Diane Madved* *What is the secret to the long term success of individuals and families?* There is none. They simply practice the values that make people strong. These values aren't new or revolutionary, rather, they represent the foundation of many successful people. Successful families share Ten things in common. They show by both word and example the importance of honesty, industry, morality, courage, respect, faith, compassion, humanity, humility, discipline, and duty. 🙏 *1. Respect.* The best families don't permit a disrespectful attitude, instead they pass along the importance of respect and honour. 👮 *2. Discipline.* In the best families, discipline is a central theme of parenthood. Parents punish the children to reinforce the principle that certain behaviour is not just inappropriate, it's also not tolerated. 🕵️ *3. Attentiveness.* Open communication is a major family value, and a prerequisite to good communication is attentiveness. A common trait of effective parents is an intense interest in the moment to moment progress of each person in the family, especially the children. The parents observe their children for signs of distress, illness, or other problems as well as for indicators of success and happiness. The realise that each child is unique has personal idiosyncrasies and requirements that demand differing responses. ✍️ *4. Education.* Strong families believe strongly in education as a key to advancement. Given the level of these parents involvement in the children's schooling, it's not surprising that all of the children attend college and continue to learn advanced education beyond college *Chapter 26 continued....* Compiled by Mahendra Kolhekar X handle @KolhekarM 🌹🌷🙏
