My friend Missy sent me the graduation speech given by the principal of an all girls high school last week. The speech itself was great but this was my favorite line:
"we held you to high standards, not because we wanted you to suffer, but because life itself is challenging; and if you wish to prevail, not merely endure, you need to be disciplined and prepared to work hard."
This is what we all do with our kids, but I never heard it so succinctly stated.
