Our lesson begins with a wonderful story, Thomas Edison Never Quit , which matches our affirmation,“I will keep my energy moving and finish what I start.” We’ll discuss perseverance and even practice our “never give up” attitude. Edison said, “The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness.” Hope to see you there!
