We can't change the others; We can only change ourselves (Chúng ta không thể thay đổi người khác mà chỉ có thể thay đổi chính mình)

If a child lives with tolerance
he learns to be patient;
If a child lives with encouragement
he learns confidence;
If a child lives with praise
he learns to appreciate;
If a child lives with fairness
he learns justice;
If a child lives with security
he learns to have faith;
If a child lives with approval
he learns to like himself;
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
he learns to find love in this world

I don't know who wrote this poem. I feel, however, that it applies to all living beings. The best way to influence a person is through loving kindness, compassion and understanding.
