Teaching & Modeling Consistency



When it comes to the behavior of people in this "modern" world, there seems to be no semblance of logic involved.

We all know that showing up consistently (and on time), and putting in the work, are required for success in any given endeavor.

Yet, we have adults teaching (and modeling) the opposite to young people.

The gap between high-flyers and also-rans is growing.

It will continue to expand until adults behave as mentors, rather than buddies, to the next generation.


Quote of the Day

 
The illiterate of the future will not be the
person who cannot read.  It will be the
person who does not know how to learn.
