Graduation or Commencement?  What Now?


diploma

 

Graduation...

...is so often viewed as terminal, the end of an era, the finished product of knowledge.

 

Commencement...

...however, recognizes a milestone has been achieved on the road of life.

 

The difference then is an attitude!

Have you fulfilled all that you desire to accomplish? Or, are you now better prepared for all that can be accomplished in life? Are you finished, or are you just now beginning? The every day continual learning of the classroom has provided you with "a greenhouse" ability to grow strong, but today should not be the end of your learning. Everyday you live will provide new thoughts and practical lessons.

 

Life is the largest school of all

 

What you have learned in the classroom will be of considerable benefit in the school of life. No one ever can have too much education. Most of our education comes from our early childhood. Our parents taught us from the time we knew nothing and gave us the tools of learning that have carried us through the formal school years. Just so life will offer additional education every day. 

 

Just because you know something,

don’t confuse that to mean you know everything

 

The greatest tool in learning is the realization of how little one knows. The tragedy of learning is the failure to apply that knowledge.

 


 

HAVE YOU FINISHED, 
OR ARE YOU JUST NOW COMMENCING TO BEGIN?
