We should say to each of them: 'Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the world there is no other child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have passed, there has never been a child like you. And look at your body---what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move!
You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must cherish one another.'
We must all work---to make this world worthy of its children."
- Pablo Casals

i completely agree with these beautiful lines and also support the idea that young minds need to be taught and nurtured to look beyond the cliches of achieving outwards to recognising the inner genius.
