Einstein's Living Message

Sharing a truth that we often forget
Specially when we bring up children
As parents and teachers, I bet
We put all of them in a couldron
Which we think is the best!
… God gives us gifts and talents
But never according to…
Caste, class, gender or race
Are you ready, this truth to face?
Help our children find their TALENTS
Lead a happy and satisfied life
And be useful for generations?????

Thanks to my dear friend Monica for sharing the following Photo with a vibrant quote from A Einstein for our action. It has triggered my thoughts to voice out my vision and passion. I want this to reach and touch every parent, teacher, priest and Shepherds of our Church as we contantly play a key role in shaping our children. Parenting and teaching comes with a lot of responsibility.

As a child what Einstein recieved from his father was a compass. What facinated Einstein as a child was the fact that the compass always pointed to the North and he knew there was something behind this. He worked at it and contributed to generations through his Theory of Relativity!!!

We need to watch what we give our Children as gift in today’s world where children get many things that they do not need at all. May God help us to serve our children, recognise their talents and gifts and what they have to offer to us and our World now and in the future!
