There's a lot of talk these days about giving children self-esteem. It's not something you can give; it's something they have to build.

All my fears and cares are of this world; if there is another, an honest man has nothing to fear from it.

You don't just throw the ball - you propel it.

One of the ways we communicate that we can be trusted is in the way we care for other people.
