There are children who are highly intelligent & self-motivated. They instinctively know what they want from life. They know the importance of study & diligence. They also think & act independently. They aren't subjected to the usual peer pressure because they know innately what is right. They are inner, not outer directed. They also know what they will accomplish as adults. They want to make their mark on the world. They are willing to work & sacrifice to attain their goals. Your thoughts? Self-motivated children DO BECOME...…...SUCCESSFUL ADULTS!
Hello, gm, some children know that. But all children? I think not, because all fingers are not equal. It is like what is being said in a section of Nigeria, Ajegunle: where wealth flow?

one's own image, or society's image or grandfather's image;
any image other than ...
HIS OWN?
