"ساختن کودکان قوی آسانتر از ترمیم مردان شکسته است"
— Frederick Douglass
Simplified Meaning:
Helping kids grow up with good habits and a strong sense of self is simpler than fixing the problems of adults who didn't have that guidance as children. Imagine you are raising a garden. If you take care of the plants, water them, and give them good soil, they'll grow tall and healthy. But if you ignore them, they might get sick and it will be much harder to make them healthy again later. For example, teaching a child to be kind and hardworking early on means they’ll carry those traits into adulthood. On the other hand, trying to teach the same values to an adult who has lived a troubled life can be much tougher, like trying to heal a damaged tree. It's more effective to invest time and energy in children, guiding them, so they grow up strong and capable.
