You Are Gifted and Talented!...Shannon Adler

“So many people think that they are not gifted because they don’t have an obvious talent that people can recognize because it doesn’t fall under creative arts category—writing, dancing, music, acting art or singing. Sadly, they let their real talents go undeveloped, while they chase after fame. I am grateful for the people with obscure unremarked talents because they make our lives easier—inventors, organizers, planners, peacemakers, communicators, activists, scientists, and so forth. However, there is one gift that trumps all other talents—being an excellent parent. If you can successfully raise a child in this day [and] image to have integrity then you have left a legacy that future generations will benefit from.”

The Greatest Gift A Parent Can Give...George Bush

The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There’s nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.

--George W. Bush, President of the U.S. (2001--2008)
