Thought For the Day

I gave you life, but cannot live your life for you.

I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn.

I can give you direction, but I cannot be there for you.

I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.

I can advise you about your friends, but I cannot choose them for you.

I can tell you about the facts of life, but I cannot build your reputation.

I can tell you about drinking, but I cannot say "No" for you.

I can tell you about lofty goals, but I cannot achieve them for you.

I can teach you about kindness, but I cannot force you to be gracious
