The birth of a child is a sacred phenomenon.

The birth of a child is a joy to the parent and the world.

Start working on your child__ mind. Start building your child__ character. Raise your child as a human being, instead of raising boys and girls. Raise human beings with the religion of love in their hearts. Raise human beings with the language of compassion on their lips. Raise human beings with the color of joy on their face. Raise human beings with the force of bravery in their nerves. And these brave conscientious souls with the flames of compassion in their hearts shall one day change the course of human history.

KIDS. They know a BRIBE when they see one. They want a PARENT, not a PAY-OFF. They don__ care if you__e Jack-King-Rodeo or Mister-You-Own-New-York. All they understand is time spent WITH YOU or WITHOUT YOU. It__ that SIMPLE.

We are God's chosen people.We are God's treasured possession.Let us rise in mighty strength to possess our rightful places as God's children.

Scorned and torn, former love mates aim and shoot childish devastating daggers that penetrate beyond target to pierce the heart of their offspring.

I am not sure that you can be taught how to love. In many ways it is innate - just watch and see what small child effortlessly does. But you can be reminded of it and invited to it and reminded of it.

Love one another with great passion.

Feed your child ideas of peace, harmony and compassion but at the same time give them courage to defend their identity and dignity.

It is your existential responsibility to raise your child as a human being above everything else _ catholic, muslim, jew, asian, caucasian or whatever.

You choose the leaders and place them strategically around the table of your vision and mission. They are already around you because of some degree of loyalty, so if you continue putting 80% effort in enhancing loyalty that already exists, you will end up going into overkill and igniting a toxic level of internal office politics that was not originally existent in your organisation.

Realise your Stewardship role as a parent _ you raise children to offer a quality gift to society. Even your spouse should not be treated as an object or possession you own; support them to be the best of what they were created to be. Do your part and trust God for the rest. If you have empowered them, trust them to be responsible.

A leader must produce other leaders. Why do you want to produce followers, when by being called a leader the assumption is that you already have followers? Influence those who follow to birth their kind and develop others to lead.

Open the door for communication and interact with your children. Provide the answers (if you don__ know, look for them or get expert advice). Guide them on how to deal with other sources of information _ friends, TV, other media, society or the internet. Coaching empowers them to make their own informed, quality decisions.

Empower your children - Allow self-discovery and self-awareness (their own key to success), Facilitate an environment for learning through experience (practice of knowledge acquired). Remember, this exploration will take place whether you approve or not _ it__ inevitable, that__ why YOU MUST be in charge of providing awareness and exposure to improve the quality of decisions made during exploration and experimentation.

Around the world, the perception and reality of corruption and bad governance in public places remains very high. But it isn__ just in governments that these are found; they can permeate through society, where they are rampant in private enterprises and even religious institutions. We need to deal with the causes, not just consequences. You will need to play your role, both as a good example as well as part of the social police force. Cultures and beliefs must change at a personal level as well as at institutional levels.

Every leader must be challenged to educate their followers and capacitate them with knowledge, tools and a voice to champion their own causes and become actively involved in setting the agenda for citizen participation in social transformation. Don__ create a dependent constituency; develop and lead other leaders who demonstrate a growing personal responsibility for their own success as well as for those around them.

Teach faith as a non-negotiable - What should your family be aware of? Why should they be aware of these things? How will they become aware? When and at what stages must they become aware?
