Both education and parenting are tasks that demand the investment of large amounts of time. Even though you may take a lot of initiative and put in a lot of effort, the results may not always be visible immediately. However, you can be sure that as long as you sow the seeds of happiness and abundantly plow the soil of a child's heart, the fact of your having done so, will always remain with them.
All of your hard work, your sweat and toil, will become priceless treasures for a child, certain to bear fruit sooner or later.
