There is wisdom in taking an interest in what is going on in the world and its environment

Learning is for life and the price is a good education
 
At a time when the world is blighted by a not cool to be clever attitude with a growing number of children failing to meet the academic requirement needed to be socially successfully the need for stressing the moral values prescribed by society has never been so weighty. It is my personal view that parents ought to emphasise to their kids the importance of learning an interest in finding out about things, in order to stimulate their curiosity, and, of course, parents need to be encouraged to support their children's school by attending open days and building relationships with teachers and galvanise their kids to think about education in the long term. There is wisdom in taking an interest in what is going on in the world and its environment but learning about its characteristic features and be aware of its vulnerability are of paramount importance since they offer a breath of fresh air to the world and its social issues by opening a window of learning to everyone. Absolutely, I care for the world and its social issues and I think that it would be selfish if I said that it had nothing to do with me just simply because it does not affect me; on the contrary, I think we should always help when there is a problem in the world and give its misery a well-needed touch of guidance. Indeed, it is human to have imperfections but it is plain wrong to ignore social issues in the community since tensions on the social front would not resolve themselves without the need for changes. As good as things seem to be, certain obstacles remain that will need to be tackled head on sooner or later since the biggest cause of antisocial behaviour is the lack of quality time among parents and children which prevents, both, of developing important social skills. Tired, bored, confused and demotivated children wait for parents to arrive home from work where the priority is not family activities but tedious school assignments which allows not the time to nurture their social skills and personalities. Would it not be nice if children were to be allowed to mixing with people in the community through baseball and other sports in order to discover the value of other people so that they can develop a sense of who they are?
Yeah! I am a believer in applying real focus on something constructive, like building bridges in the community through co-operation, using the power of sport to help tackle issues such as improving health and fitness, developing education for young people, and by working together in partnership or as part of a team in order to make a visible difference to people's lives.
