<\/a>THE GOOD OF FAILURE<\/strong><\/p>\nThe importance of failure is that it reminds us that we can do better, be better, and achieve more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why are we so concerned about making mistakes?\u00a0 Why are we afraid of failure?\u00a0 As a society, we are taught that failure is a remark of our character, our persona, our very worth.\u00a0 From Hollywood to Bollywood we view movies and television shows that remark upon the negativity of failure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Positive Aspect of Failure<\/em><\/p>\nIf I fail, then I have a guidepost, indicating the areas with which I can improve. Failure has become the barometer of negativity, rather than a potential of opportunity.\u00a0 Without failure, we could not relish in the achievement of our successes.\u00a0 As a good parent or teacher, we should teach our children that failure is an opportunity for improvement and growth, rather than a blockade deterring us from our greatest potential.\u00a0 Failure is no more than a mere challenge begging us to be better.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CHALLENGING YOUR CHILD<\/strong><\/p>\nChallenging a child may prove an uphill battle for the parent or teacher.\u00a0 Do not forget that children are like rainbows; they come in an array of personalities, levels of resiliency, and a variety of temperaments. Likewise, just as a rainbow reflects the beauty of nature, all children<\/em> are radiating with an internal desire to beam with beauty and capability.\u00a0 Remember, children emulate what they see, hear, and know; therefore, it is your obligation to foster the best within your child.\u00a0<\/p>\nENCOURAGING YOUR CHILD<\/strong><\/p>\nThe importance of encouraging your teenager differs from challenging your teen.\u00a0 For some parents and teachers, the two have become interchangeable.\u00a0 The reality is, challenging is an arousal of one\u2019s thoughts, interest or ideas in a competitive way; whereas, encouragement is offering a spirit of hope, inspiration, and promise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Encouraging your child should never offer a demeaning or threatening word, act, or deed.\u00a0 Encouraging your child should never cause a loss of dignity or personal self respect.\u00a0 Encouraging should be a shift upward, guiding a child towards a path of hope, inspiration, possibility and probability.\u00a0 It should be words that inspire a child to do his or her best in life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF INSPIRATION<\/strong><\/p>\nOlympians get what it means to be personally inspired.\u00a0 The Olympic Spirit <\/em>is one that engulfs the \u201cWin-Win\u201d attitude of personal success.\u00a0 The typical Olympian is capable of being introspective; thus, examining and observing their own mental and emotional thought processes.\u00a0 The Why\u2019s <\/em>of what caused them to loose a competition or fail to meet a qualification.\u00a0 Such an Olympic Spirit is a mindset, which should radiate throughout a person\u2019s being.\u00a0 It is a spirit of hope<\/em> and I will do attitude, n<\/em>ot simply a possible I can do<\/em> attitude.\u00a0 This sort of spirit exudes the very nature and fiber of the person\u2019s being.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Fundamental Principle of Inspiring a Child,<\/em> is having an internal ability of recognizing that our weakness and strengths are mere landmarks in life, not an indicator of our personality or self-worth.\u00a0 Sadly, our society has an abundance of naysayers, squelching the very essence of one\u2019s personal inspiration.\u00a0 Furthermore, you can expect that if a child is be capable of generating an instinctive <\/em>principle of personal self-worth; that there will assuredly be a host of naysayers opposing that child\u2019s desires and internal drive.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Fundamental Principle of Inspiration<\/em>, is having a spirit of unconditional love, trust, respect, dignity, caring, and hope.\u00a0 It is the knowledge that we will fail and succeed, but that our worth is not based on our failures or successes.\u00a0 For who we are, is greater than our level of obtainment or achievement, or of failure or loss.\u00a0 For who we are, is a person deserving of love, forgiveness, respect, dignity, and loyalty.\u00a0 A child that is raised with such principles will intrinsically rely upon these principles in moments of need, desperation, motivation, and for personal inspiration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cOlympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind.\u201d (IOC, 2012, Online) If we raise a child with such intrinsic concepts, then that child will have a personal reservoir, supplying the whole of their being.\u00a0 Moreover, such individuals not only are inspired, but frequently inspire others to reach for the stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Teachers and parents alike, should strive to be the inspiration that they would hope their children to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
