She asked me to help her study for her science test.“Dad I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”You know memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it.

He looked for food from trash, lived on the streets and slept in a public cemetery for most of his childhood. His parents didnt care about him and often beat him. Valdez said he felt he was living in “darkness” at that time.But this “darkness” didnt turn him into a dark person. Valdez got help from community workers. On his first birthday party, at the age of 7, Valdez decided what he wanted most was to help other children who were still living on the streets.“I didnt have a lot of money, but I had a lot of love to give,” Valdez explained.That day was the birth of the organization, Championing Community Children. Since then, Valdez and his friends visit homeless children and hand out bags with slippers, toys and even candy. They nurse their wounds, teach them about their rights and offer them hope.“I want children on the streets to get the same chance as I have,” he said.40 .

In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didnt know how to start. So he ordered the wise men to condense the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many. Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt were too many books.During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and present it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom-his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases affected his people. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems. Finally, the king was killed by a ruler in the neighbour country and his country was destroyed.Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy.
