Persuasive Powers

Wednesday, August  9, 1995   Laura is 11 years old.

Dear Laura,

I was noticing today what a beautiful girl you are.

I have been pleased that you've been showing more interest in your piano lessons.  Daily practice is making a big difference.

You are generally positive and pleasant to be around.  You help make our home a haven.

Remember how influential you are just from your positive actions.  Positive actions go further than force and anger.  Remember the story about the sun and the wind in persuading the man to take off his coat.  The wind tried force.  The sun tried warmth.  Who won?

Love, Mom
