Building Character..

When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China. They thought no one could climb it due to its height.

During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice.

And everytime, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall…because each time they bribed the guards and came through the doors.

The Chinese built the wall but forgot the character-building of the wall-guards.

Thus the building of human character comes BEFORE building of anything else.

That’s what our children need today.

Like one of the Orientalists said:
If you want to destroy the civilization of a nation there are three ways to do it:

1. Destroy the family structure.

2. Destroy education.

3. Lower the integrity of role models and references.

1. In order to destroy the family, undermine the role of *Mother*, so that she feels ashamed of being a housewife.

2. To destroy education, give no importance to the *Teacher*, and lower his place in society so that the students despise him.

3. To lower the Role Models, undermine the *Scholars*, doubt them until no one listens to them or follows them.

For when a conscious *Mother* disappears, a dedicated *Teacher* disappears and there’s a downfall of *Role Models*, *WHO* will teach the youngsters *VALUES*?
