William Martin Quotes

• No pidas a tus hijos que se esfuercen por tener una vida extraordinaria. Tal esfuerzo puede parecer admirable, pero es el camino de la insensatez. Ayúdales, en cambio, a encontrar el asombro y la maravilla de una vida ordinaria. Enséñales la alegría de saborear tomates, manzanas y peras. Enséñales a llorar cuando mueren animales y personas. Enséñales el placer infinito que se siente al tocar una mano. Y haz que lo ordinario cobre vida para ellos. Lo extraordinario se hará cargo de sí mismo.

• ¿Tiene usted agendas para sus hijos que son más importantes que ellos mismos? El alma creativa y alegre de su hijo puede perderse entre uniformes, prácticas, juegos, recitales y actuaciones. Observe y escuche atentamente. ¿Tienen tiempo para soñar despiertos? De sus sueños surgirán las prácticas y actividades que harán que la autodisciplina sea tan natural como respirar.
