Why we act the way we do?

What I've come to know as the very honest truth is that adult behaviours are in no way separate from childhood experiences. I have heard people say that we are the architect of our destinies (which is true). But whether we like it or not, parents, aunties, uncles and other relatives that bring up children, laid the foundation of whatever a child had turned out to become. The knowledge of this would help people know whether it is worth engaging in "activities" that would bring a child to the world.

Yes! Everyone would answer for themselves, but should parents and wards keep making the same mistakes of churning out "miscreants" in society just because they would have to answer for themselves? Why don't you help them answer correctly?

One thing that has  improved my relationship with my fellows( as I used to be very judgemental) is my work with children. It has made me understand that we have different experiences, we learn differently and our interests must not always be the same. Very importantly, I also  understand, as it is with children, a push to succeed is not one particular way; we need to know what works for each person...
