The time will pass anyway
I really like this quote by Earl Nightingale. It is very true. Whatever your dream is, the only thing that matters in order to accomplish something is how you decide to spend your time. Time will pass anyway. Where do you want to be in a month? A year? 5 years? How will you get there?
I think I might print this out and put it in my office. Maybe it can help motivate a couple of students that struggle to find the will to do school work...
