CORRECTION IS LOVE

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sanju. His father had died when he was young. His mother had no one else but her son. Unknowingly she spoil him by giving him everything he wanted.

One day, Sanju came home from school with another boy's pencil box. His mother told him to return it but he refused. 

The mother should have told Sanju's teacher and corrected her son, but she thought, "After all, he has taken only a pencil box. He will not do it again. How can I scold my son?" Soon, Sanju started stealing all kinds of things from his friends. The mother knew how wrong this was but she did not feel like scolding her son.

As Sanju grew up, with no one correcting him, he began to do a lot of wrong things. Soon he joined a band of robbers. One day, he was caught in a robbery. People came to know of all his wrongdoings. He was sent to jail.

As Sanju was being taken away, he saw his mother weeping in a corner. To her shock, he screamed at her, "I am going to jail because of you! When I was young, I did not know right and wrong. If you had taught me, and corrected me, then I would never have  become a robber!"

Parents like Sanju's are few. Most parents correct their children when they make mistakes. Why? Because they want their children to grow up to be good people.

So, never forget that when you are corrected, it is good for you.

Correction is LOVE.
