The Value of Determination
There are a series of "Values" books that I remember reading when I was a child and we have started reading with our own children - Thanks eBay. Each book focuses on a value and how a person from history best demonstrates that value. Whether it's the value of Boldness demonstrated by Capt. James Cook or the Value of Creativity - The Story of Thomas Edison - each story offers a biographical look at the subject and how that value played a role in their success.
This is the same little girl who is the youngest in her class that would not give up writing the longest name C-H-A-R-L-O-T-T-E even when she was only 3. I believe there is a well of determination in her that will serve her for years to come.
Last week at my house we had a real life example of the "Value of Determination". Charlotte woke early and agreed that "Today was the day to learn to ride a bike without training-wheels".
This is the same little girl who is the youngest in her class that would not give up writing the longest name C-H-A-R-L-O-T-T-E even when she was only 3. I believe there is a well of determination in her that will serve her for years to come.
Needless to say, she learned to ride her bike without training wheels during one of the most beautiful days of the year. It is an inspiring value to press on regardless of the challenges.
Yes, I'm a proud Dad.
