Maradona

Maradona, great football player, was an inspiration to many
He gave an exemplary example of perfection in action
How concentration can achieve milestones 
How short height doesn't matter 
How it can, in fact, be used to your benefit

But he also taught the world not just talent,
good moral values and habits are important for lasting success
They give a life of peace and happiness

It is essential to develop talents in children 
but they should also be made mentally strong
to handle all aspects of life
be it success or failure 
Parents should ensure kids have no bad habits that can bring ruin.

We can we learn from lives of great people
Many set an example of what should be done 
and what should not be done.
