  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 245. Well the quote today is from Ann Landers. You

  • know the famous advice columnist. She, she actually did die now. But she was

  • famous for many, many years giving advice to many, many people and this is actually

  • a quote from her. So let's take a look at the quote today. "It is not what you do

  • for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that

  • will make them successful human beings. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.

  • What Ann Landers is trying to say with this quote is that you must teach

  • children proper behavior and independence. If you can teach proper

  • behavior in most cases , it should lead to handling problems in life, facing challenges

  • and moving in the right direction of success. Or at least hopefully, I'm sure

  • people have to help them along the way, but at least that's the idea. Let's

  • continue here. You must also teach independence you

  • won't be around forever and you won't be able to be with them for 24 hours a day

  • in the future. So they have to learn how to figure out how to do it on their own.

  • Let's continue. The lessons you teach them are a base. A base, a foundation for

  • which they can pull or take from to survive and prosper in ... on their own in

  • the future. Anyway, that's basically what she's trying to say to you. Anyway, I hope

  • you got it. I hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
