Stay In School In my view...young people who quit school, will probably quit many more things in life in which they attempt. Attending school...and finishing, is a long term comittment...and, nobody ever said it would be easy!..Nobody ever promised any of us a rose garden! During a job interview, (after a job layoff), I was asked the following question: "What is one of the most important things you've done in your life?" I thought about it for a moment and answered: "Stop smoking!" Why? Because I had to have the discipline to quit, and everything we do requires discipine to one degree or another. And, one thing I learned from being in the U.S. Air Force for four years was... discipline! For, it will be discipline, that will play a large part in carrying us all through life. When I quit smoking, it wasn't easy, and it took three tries, and almost a year to quit. Discipline was also important, to fight off peer-pressure! They'll always be peer pressure, and I don't care if the issue is quitting somking; losing weight; or staying in school. There always seems to be somebody around, who will tell you "you can't do it." When somebody tell me that, it makes me more determined to accomplish my goals. Discipline! Almost everyhing centers around discipline! There are those who start a project or job, and never finish it. Starting school...and finishing school, should be a top priority for young people, and I offer the following advice. * Don't be a quitter * Stay off drugs, and don't hang around the wrong crowd * Think for yourself, and think positive! * Set your goals and be disciplined * Nothing worthwhile comes easy! So, if you fall down, find the courage to get up and continue on. * Never use the word "fail." Use the word "set-back" instead. * The people who don't even try, are the failures, so feel good about yourself for trying. Go for it...you can do it! |
