Teach them

From Ladies Pass It On

Don't teach your children to win.

Teach them how to lose, without letting it affect their 

self-esteem.

Teach them how to help others lose well too.

Let them be the kid that waits behind to run with

someone who can't.

That kid will forge through life, mending, bonding,

inspiring, creating yet maybe never winning a race.

That kid will have control of his own self-worth and not

put it in the hands of so many variables.

That kid will have access to the peace that not requiring

outside validation brings.

What a gift to one so young.

Don't teach your children to win my friend, teach them to

lose.

That's the hardest lesson to learn.
