"Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation, but they should have the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves." - John F. Kennedy
This quote means that humans might have equal or more talent in something than one another, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't have the equal right to develop a talent, or not have the same amount of motivation. If a child is doing less than the others. don't not motivate them, since the others are doing better and deserve more motivation.
This quote relates to a book my fellow classmates and I are reading. The book is called The Giver. (P.S. it's an amazing book and I totally recommend it!). It doesn't "relate" to The Giver, but it's a good example to use for this quote. As many know, Jonas' job was given to be a Receiver. Some other twelves was given maybe a Nurturer. Even though a Receiver is obviously more important to the community, both jobs should be equally motivated. No matter how important something is than other, both should be treated equally.
