Quote

The usual devastating put-downs imply that a person is basically bad, rather than that he is a person who sometimes does bad things. Obviously, there is a vast difference between a bad person and a person who does something bad. Besides, failure is an event, it is not a person - yesterday ended last night.

Look for the positive aspects of life. Like everything else, the more good qualities we look for in our children, the more good qualities we are going to find.
