Low
Self-esteem and Crimes of Youths
............
Parenting is more than merely bringing
a child to adulthood. It must bring that child to a successful adulthood
so that he/she is intellectually, spiritually, and financially equipped
to see himself/herself in a positive light and to be able to withstand
others' attempts to define him/her. Many psychologists argue that good
self-esteem is crucial to a person's well being, and many realize that
low self esteem plays an important role in criminal activity, especially
criminal activities of youths. Click Here

-INSPIRATION-
Thomas, so often remembered as
“Doubting Thomas,” deserves to be respected for this faith. He was
a doubter, but his doubts had a purpose – he wanted to know the
truth. Doubting was his way of responding, not his way of life.
We can doubt without having to live a doubting life. Doubt encourages
rethinking. Its purpose is more to sharpen the mind than to change
it. Doubt can be used to pose the question, get an answer, and push
for a decision. But doubt was never meant to be a permanent condition.
Doubt is one foot lifted, poised to step forward or backward. There
is no motion until the foot comes down. When you experience doubt,
take encouragement from Thomas, he didn’t stay in his doubt. Don’t
settle into doubts, but move on from them to decision and belief.
Find another believer with whom you can share your doubts. Silent
doubts rarely fin answers. (John 20 NLT)

Our
earth is balanced
In the air we share.
As it moves around
Our sun we share.
We act in daylight,
We sleep at night. As
days go by
We chose our plight.
Our
early ancestors
Experience the same.
The sun exposure
caused skin color names.
Now
we chose
To Either love or hate
the kinds of color
that rules or fate.
This is nonsense!
We have little control
on who will inherit
our upper class role.
However, we can
learn
From history’s call.
We are more than skin!
We are heart and soul.

Inspiration

Dionne Parler,

Never seem to be in a hurry – hurrying
betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time.
Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will
come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right
moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that
will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time
is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached
fruition. (48 Laws of Power)
