FOR ALL AGES
At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Og Mandino, or Augustine “Og” Mandino II, was one of the American Authors known for his bestselling book titled, ‘The Greatest Salesman In The World’. His dedication and hard work made him the president of ‘Success Unlimited Magazine’ until 1976. Before getting to the position of president, Mandino worked as the Executive Editor until 1966 and inspired all around him. His journey of not giving up is an inspiration to look for. Even today, after Mandino's passing away, his quotes continue to keep people around optimistic, confident, and compassionate towards life. Read on for the best Og Mandino quotes here.
1. "Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."
2. "Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today."
3. "Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.”
4. "Always let your reach exceed your grasp."
5. "We are unhappy because we no longer have our self esteem. We are unhappy, because we no longer believe we are a special miracle, a special creation of God. We have lost faith in ourselves."
6. "I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars."
7. "I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again." - 'The Greatest Salesman In The World'
8. "Sooner or later all mankind will realize that the greatest cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrow and crimes of humanity rests solely in acts of love."
9. "Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children."
10. "One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one's ability. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement."
11. "You can't conquer reality by running away from it."
12. "Journey quietly on your pathway to forever with charity & a smile. When you depart it will be said by all that your legacy was a better world than the one you found."
13. "I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day."
14. “Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight."
15. "Only a habit can subdue another habit." - 'The Greatest Salesman In The World'

20. "A smile remains the most inexpensive gift I can bestow on anyone and yet its powers can vanquish kingdoms."
21. "Never settle for the crumbs of life."
22. "In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedes all others is—I will form good habits and become their slave."
23. "Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time."
24. "I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why would the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?"
25. "Failure is the highway to success."
26. "Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday."
27. "I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools."
28. "Never feel shame for trying and failing for he who has never failed is he who has never tried." - 'The Greatest Salesman In The World'
29. "Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere and so you must always let your hook be hanging. When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by."
30. "I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand." - 'The Greatest Salesman In The World'
31. "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."
32. "Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse." - 'The Greatest Salesman In The World'
33. "Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new."
