Charity Begins at Home

"Charity Begins at Home". Why you may ask? Thats where your closest relatives are. And these are the people who spent their lifetime looking after your interests. They tried to give you the best eventhough they may not be able to afford it. They let you eat first eventhough that is their favourite meal. They criticise you becoz they want you to give your best and you make use of the opportunites available to you. You may not be the best but at least you give it your best shot. Whose parents want their child to be outcasts and failures.

Mind you, the least you all could do is to show your appreciation and reciprocate in meaningful ways. Dont yell and scream that your teachers said you are responsible and we do not know how to appreciate your responsibility.

Firstly, those are your teachers and you are the pupil. If you are given a task or an assignment and if you do not submit within the timeline, you will be punished and worse still, you may be blacklisted and marked down. Every student will try to please their teachers unless you are one of those delinquent students.

We are your parents and we expect you to fulfil your fair share of your duties and responsibilites at home. What you do at school and what you do at home are two different issues and please do not linked the two of them together. Just because we are your parents, dont take advantage. We are advancing in age and our energy and stamina may not be enough to tackle all the household chores and responsibilites.

Do your fair share, put up your plans in writing for the future and crystallise them as you move along.

You need a plan to succeed and there is no such thing as planning for failure!
