Proximity is power

 This quote by Tony Robbins is as much a business quote as it is teaching and parenting quote. Be the extraordinary person around the children you deal with.

When I say extraordinary, I nowhere mean super human. Parenting and teaching have their own journeys. Be true to them. But as we navigate this journey, being mindful of the power we have on the children is essential.

If a professional grows in a career by getting the right influences and keeping proximity with the right people, remember children do not have the choice to choose their proximities with others. They are bound by the circles we create for them; their families are defined by us. Their peers are defined by the schools and the communities they grow up in.

So, while we limit these boundaries, let us strive to be the ones exercising the right influences on them.
