A POEM OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE
LEAVE out my name from the gift
if it be a burden,
but keep my song
A POEM OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE
MY words that are slight
my lightly dance upon time's waves
when my works heavy with import have gone down.
A POEM OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE
MY fancies are fireflies-
Specks of living light
twinkling in the dark.
Experience

Treat everyone as equal.
Whether its your maid or step child, they also deserve love and affection from you as you deserve from your wife/husband or from your own child. Treat everyone like you would want to be treated, and getting along with your family should be easy.
Give time
No one wants to be ignored just for some meeting or work. Give time to each and every one of them so you can understand every individual properly and this can prevent any misunderstandings in the future.
Respect your family.
Your children, your wife/husband are now yours but remember at the end of the day they are also humans. They also have an opinion or suggestion. Sometimes it can be bad or good. Never be angry with someone's opinion, they have their opinions, and no one's perfect.
Understand your family well.
If you don't then there can be many misunderstandings and fights. Be with them whenever you can and get to know them better. A lot of families now don't get to know each other too well because they're too busy. Plan some family time, like, a movie, or a family game, or even as little as eating dinner together.
Make it a group effort.
Get some friends together--friends who are actually interested in studying, that is--and have everyone bring over their flash cards. Pass them around and quiz each other. If anyone is unclear on a concept, take turns explaining them to each other. Better yet, turn your study session into a game like Trivial Pursuit.
Make associations.
The most effective way to retain information is to "tie" it to existing information that's already lodged in your mind.
If your textbook has a vocabulary section, a glossary, or a list of terms, make sure that you understand these completely.
You don't have to memorize them, but whenever there is an important concept in a particular field, there is usually a special term to refer to it. Learn these terms, and be able to use them easily, and you will have gone a long way towards mastering the subject itself. (Besides, teachers frequently draw from these lists as a quick and easy way to make up test questions!)
Make flash cards.
Traditionally, this is done with index cards, but you can also download computer programs that cut down on space and the cost of index cards. You can also just use a regular piece of paper folded (vertically) in half. Put the questions on the side you can see when the paper is folded; unfold it to see the answers inside. Keep quizzing yourself until you get all the answers right reliably. Remember: "Repetition is the mother of skill.
