The child is a rich mine abounding with precious gems. This mine is to be explored for its potentials. The precious stones are to be drawn from the darkness of the soil where they are buried and hidden. They should be brought out to light. In the open, polish, cut and shape them into exquisite pieces. Until they are polished and shaped then they can benefit the human society.
Children are like diamonds. Raw diamonds are dull. They have no lustre. They do reflect light. But when it is cut and shaped into many facets and polished, it sparkles and becomes highly priced. Shaped and polished diamond makes a lot of difference. A child that is well-educated and trained becomes a brilliant star in the firmament of humanity and becomes a guide to the wayfarers who are in darkness.

ReplyDeleteHi Nicola,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This was very inspirational! I agree that children are indeed precious gems who become discovered, cleaned up, and shaped into unique individuals. I would also like to add that I really enjoyed reading and responding to your posts. I appreciate your feedback and comments as well. Good luck on your journey to success in your future courses at Walden University. Who knows...Maybe we will end up in another course together.
Best wishes,
Ashley T.
Nicola,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful excerpt! This was very touching. Every child is a different gem/stone that is shaped, molded, and formed into individuals from their experiences. Each lesson and experience will shape who they are and they will take a piece of each others experience with them. This is a very strong quote and I love it! Thank You for providing this...it was truly an inspirational one!
Wow, Nicola, Yes, that is an excellent way to see children, exactly as they are. We parents and teachers are the Cole-Miners, and it is up to us to take the time to pollish each gem and to avoid disgaurding any of them.
ReplyDeleteKeep respectfully loving children and their families
