在批評中成長的孩子，他學會自知不足。
在敵意中成長的孩子，他學會人心險惡。
在謊言中成長的孩子，他學會看清真相。
在羞辱中成長的孩子，他學會奮發圖強。
只在忍讓中成長的孩子，會變得自私自利。
只在讚美中成長的孩子，會變得心高氣傲。
只在公平中成長的孩子，會變得容易受騙。
只在安定中成長的孩子，會變得脆弱。
只在讚許中成長的孩子，會變得自大。

Sinéad O’Connor 1990年出版的歌，當年紅到爆炸，十九年後再聽，一樣感動得起雞皮疙瘩。

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you’ve been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
…
It’s been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms round every boy I see
but they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl you better try to have fun
no matter what you do
but he’s a fool
