Monday, January 21 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day
|
"Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT'S
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me -
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be."
- Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends
When I read the above quote by Shel Silverstein - knowing that Monday, January 21 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day - I love that we honor the man who did so many "impossible" things. No matter what hardships you face in 2019 - be it homework, interactions with others, or difficult challenges - remember that with perseverance, hard work and a will to succeed, you can do so much.
