Learning
Radiance - Page 292 - Learning LEARNING
Learning is not an easy thing to do. It is something you
must apply yourself to make it happen. Try to motivate
your son to learn, not cajole nor punish him. Put yourself
in his place. Wouldn’t you rather play than study?
Wouldn’t you want to do fun things rather than sitting
down to learn to write or to play the piano? Think about
what would motivate you to learn. Then use the same reasoning to motivate him.
A child is hungry for knowledge, especially when it is
presented the right way. You will find the right way. Just
keep on trying. In teaching him, you are also teaching
yourself how to be more patient, more understanding, and
more loving. He will love you the more for your efforts.
He knows when he does a good job. Praise him whenever
he does something right. It makes him try harder. Above
all, keep your tranquility and do not raise your voice.
Learning should be an enjoyable experience. If it is enjoyable, he will learn very fast. Make learning fun! Learning
is not difficult. Learning is fun! Learning is exciting! Inspire your child with enthusiasm for learning, and he will
never fail! Develop patience and tranquility, and you will
never fail! TSBOM Acts of the Three Nephites
Chapter 10:4-11
4 Again I must remind you of Christ's commandments about Zion, of loving your
wife with all your heart, and only to her you must give exclusive dedication, love,
and consideration. And, in turn, she must cling only to thee. And if thou covet thy
neighbor's wife, or thy wife if predisposed unto the charms of another man, thou shalt
deny the faith, and the Holy Ghost will stay away from this house for how much as
sin remains hidden, and if there be no repentance of sinner and subsequently
forgiveness by the offended party, then shall be taken out of the midst of the people
of Christ.
5 Here is wisdom and a promise; since Zion begins in our own house, then the
fundamental bases of the united order of Enoch are the families that compose it. If,
therefore, families are weak and disunited in their homes, then the society of Zion
will not last for a long time, for when a family falls apart, the foundations of our
society are shaken. Nevertheless, if families are not strong and united, then our
conception of the Kingdom of God among men on earth will be nothing more than a
fable.
6 May purity and goodness be in the mode of speaking between the spouses and
practiced in relation to the children, so that their behavior reflects in the outside world, beyond the walls that shelter their homes, developing a society whose
language is pure and unblemished to ennoble the magnificence of Zion among the
sons of men.
7 If the guidelines of our home are the teachings of Jesus Christ, then we will live in
homes where joy reigns, whose branches of our posterity will be firmly rooted in the
fruits of the Holy Spirit; love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance; these being the feelings that must fill our earthly abode,
as being a heavenly refuge. And, behold, joy is one of its fruits and will overflow
through the walls in the homes of Zion.
8 The unity that is required of us as disciples of Christ has no structure if its
foundations are not firmly established among the families of Zion. The more united
we are to the members of our families, the greater will be the strength of the structures
of our unity as God's people.
9 Yea, truly, I tell you, our commitment to make our homes the symbols of Zion, not
only prepares us to respond to a higher purpose before the world, but also enables us
to live the true unification among brothers, such so that our actions may be perceived
out there among the peoples of the Gentile nations, so that we may draw to Christ, all
those who have the desire to join us, for the purpose of living Zion in their hearts, in
perfect peace and harmony.
10 And it shall come to pass that after you have consecrated your life according to
these words, you shall be a steward of the goods of the Lord, to meet the needs of
your brethren in the Church according to their deficiencies.
11 Therefore be sober in your stewardship, and put away all the pride and
haughtiness that is in your heart, because you will be a representative of Jesus Christ
among the children of men.
