SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF TIRUKKURAL:

Tirukkural  was written by Tiruvalluvar (a Tamil  poet/writer) more than 5,000 yrs ago. It’s one of the ancient sciences on Human Behaviour, which has not changed in spite of modern education  & technology!


1. *If your children lie to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.*

2. *If your children are not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.*

3. *If your children had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.*

4. *If your children do not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.*

5. *If your children take things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them chose what they want.*

6. *If your children are cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.*

7. *If your children do not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking, you order & command them.*

8. *If your children are too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour & you give little attention to good behaviour.*

9. *If your children are excessively jealous, it is because you congratulate them only when they successfully complete something & not when they improve at something even if they don’t successfully complete it*

10. *If your children  intentionally disturb you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.*

11. *If your children are openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don’t follow through.*

12. *If your child is secretive, it is because they are sure that you would blow things out of proportion.*

13. *If your children back-answer to you, it is because they watch you do it to others & think its normal behaviour.*

14. *If your children don’t listen to you but listen to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions*

15. *If your children rebel it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right*

This is real Food for Thought: Prof. Wole Soyinka says : 'WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~ "Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, And brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, And Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with a...
