To Students,
You
forfeit your chance for life at its fullest when you withhold your best effort
in learning. When you give only the minimum to learning, you receive only the
minimum in return. Even with your parents' best example and your teachers' best
efforts, in the end it is your
work that determines how much and
how well you learn. When you work to your full capacity, you can hope to attain
the knowledge and skills that will enable you to create your future and control
your destiny. If you do not, you will have your future thrust upon you by
others. Take hold of your life,
apply your gifts and talents, work with dedication and self-discipline. Have high expectations for yourself and convert
every challenge into an opportunity.
