I am a father of four wonderful children and today I had the pleasure of attending my first child, Emma Liz's, graduation. It is true that as adults we can learn a lot from children. It is intense as you sit there and realize that your children are innately born with passion, curiosity, and unconditional love and that is is our job to continue to foster that development and push them to increase their tool kit of success.
At the graduation they had a performer that juggled and did tricks but also had the the ABC's of success that he wanted to share with the students and their families. A = attitude, you need to have a positive attitude and despite failures, picking yourself up and pushing on. B = best, you need to try your best and put forth a great effort. C = courage, you need to have the courage to make positive choices and do what is right, not simply what is easy.
Awesome that at such a young age our youth are being shown how to be successful in life... that if you (his words) practice the 3 p's you will succeed. Plan, Pursue, and Persevere. It gives me hope.
