There are no parents who teach their children to do wrong. There is no bad parent. Even a bad teacher gives his students good lessons. Those who say, "Yes, yes," may be doing well in their class. Isn't it true? [Yes] (117-314)

If you repeatedly say to your son going to school or to the son who is studying, "Study hard. Study hard. Study hard," he might get to feel very disgusted with his meddler. However, if he goes into society as a failure because he didn't study hard, he would say, "I should have listened to my parents..." He could not slander his parents.

While you enjoy your comfortable rest, you are losing everything. You are letting things get stolen. It is the same as if while others were studying in the class, you played hooky and met with an accident. What would become of you? You would be a repeater, a failure. (91-313)

No matter how intensely you may exercise control over your son, if it is from your desire to make him brighter and better, your efforts are for him. For example, even though you have made your child be silent, and interfered with everything day and night, and made him study by flicking a whip at him when he had bad conduct, waiting patiently and sacrificing yourselves, it was not for the you yourselves but for your child's future, and your child would think it moments of great pleasure and the source of blessing when he reflects on his early days. When he is successful in his life, would he say. "Well, my mother and father were dictators," or, "Well, they took great pains for me"? [The latter] You got it? [Yes] What is bad? Where are evil and good divided? It is when even if the behavior seems to be the same the content is different. When you flicked a whip at someone, for whom did you do it? When you hit him for his sake, for his future, and for his blessing, it can be good, but you did it for yourself, saying, "Do this for me," it becomes evil.

Therefore, you must know the standard of good and evil clearly in this viewpoint. Without knowing the standard of good and evil, you would be so confused that you cannot know which is God's responsibility and which part is your responsibility. Do you understand? [Yes] (87-123)

For a student in school, the teacher's urging, "Study hard, study hard," is the teacher's daily instruction. Why does the teacher always do so? He means through the instruction to bequeath the profound gift of knowledge 100 percent to you. It means, "Do your best, and snatch all treasures from this school," and a condition is set for the student to establish. If the knowledge is snatched, the teacher will be pleased seeing the student doing his best with his whole heart, even more than anyone else. But if he did not do his best and invest his whole heart but became a cunning or cheating person, he would be kicked out.

Therefore, one who can inherit will not always get praised by one's master. Do you understand? [Yes]. The teacher always says to the students, "Study hard. Be students of good moral character. Be different from other students. Don't take the road all students take, but take a different road." He drives you into a thoroughly opposite way, or a lonely way. Why? To bequeath the most precious thing to the students. Are you pleased for all that, or aren't you? [Yes, we are.] You are happy? [Yes] (101-170)
