It’s because the heart of success is “being careful.”Careless people will make mistakes all the time. The more mistakes they make the more they will lack confidence.They will dare not to do anything. Then they will have no resume (list of experiences needed to apply for a job). They will also have an inferiority complex, and have envy of others. They will continually search for the mistakes of others. In the end they will become troubled and will lack hope in their lives.So we have to be respectful and careful if we want to be successful.What is being careful?It is to be conscious in thinking, speaking and doing and to avoid anything bad at all times.What is conscious (sathi)?It is being aware of the right and wrong, good and bad. It will alert you to think, speak and do in the right way by using your brain for consideration.What is the enemy of conscious (sathi)?It is a bad drive (abai ya mook). It is the entrance to destructions, which are alcoholic drinks, prostitution, gambling, and laziness.We should teach children since they are young how bad these things are so they won’t want to be concerned with them.All work should be done to our best ability.What should we be careful about?1) Careful in timing. Children should be taught to keep on reminding themselves that time passes by and never comes back, What are we doing now? This question they should ask is a way to decide that they will not spend time playing cards, boasting, or watching concerts. They will have more time to focus on working and studying. Use all of your time to race with your life because time will pass and will not return.2) Careful in age. Children should be taught by the parents to keep on reminding themselves, “Don’t think that we are still young and we just play for fun day after day.” This is because from birth until now each individual has so many life cycles that they have already passed.3) Careful in health. Children should be taught to keep on reminding themselves, “Don’t think that we will be healthy forever.” Whenever the bad karma that we made in the past catches up with us, we might become sick. So we should do well as much as we can when we are healthy. Be good children to your parents, pay attention to everything that you do when you are strong and do the best that you can.4) Careful in life. Children should be taught to keep on reminding themselves, “Our ages are actually long. It’s just short when breathing. No one knows when the death will come.”The Lord Buddha said clearly that a human’s age is as short as the breath; inhaling and exhaling. Only exhaling or inhaling, a human will die. So a human’s age is as short as 5 seconds-That is exhaling and inhaling only.Careful in practicing the Dhamma.There is no warning sign for death to let us know how, where, and when we are going to die. We should perform good deeds and make our mind happy all the time and seize opportunities.5) Careful in work. Children should be taught to keep on reminding themselves, “All work should be done to our best ability.” All work should be done with the right purpose. We should not get tired doing it. Don’t leave it for tomorrow. Otherwise, you will not have quality in your work.6) Careful in education. Children should be taught to keep reminding themselves, “We should use all of our efforts to gain knowledge.” Don’t ignore reading what you should. Realize the value of knowledge, which is the key to succeed in life and to solve any problems.7) Careful in practicing the Dhamma. Children should be taught to keep on reminding themselves that they have to respect the Lord Buddha, the Dhamma, and Sangha (Phra Bhud, Phra Dham, Phra Sangha), education, meditation, and welcoming, These should always be practiced because it’s the way to wisdom in terms of right-wrong, good-bad, boon-kamma, should-should-not etc. The result is that you are a good person, with good thoughts, good speech and good Dhamma. The Dhamma should be learned and practiced now. You shuldn’t be old when you start because you have deafness in your ears when you are old and you can’t hear Dhamma talks. When you get old you have aches and pains, and when you want to read you can’t see. When you get up you moan, when you sit down you moan so, when you know about this you should pay attention and practice the Dhamma. This will make you have happiness in this life and in the next life.If parents teach children to be careful, they will be talented, and will conscientiously do their best in everything. Others will not take advantage of them. They will not waste time with nonsensical activites, but will spend time doing good deeds instead. The shadow of success will follow them forever.On the opposite side, if parents teach them to be careless in these things, it’s a big mistake. They’ll lack carefulness in their lives, which will lead to all the mistakes in the future. They won’t know the reason for the mistakes and how to solve them properly. It will be hard for them to be successful. It’s like a careless person is a dead person." /> " /> " /> " /> " /> " /> " /> " /> " />" /> " />
