3. Let's remember that gratitude is a "cultivated" trait; so if we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be grateful.
Would You Take a Million Dollars for What You Have?
Count your blessings--not your troubles!
Find Yourself and Be Yourself

Let's not imitate others. Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide."
If You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade
When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.
