PERSEVERE IN YOUR DAILY CLIMB UP AND DOWN THE ACHIEVEMENT LADDER OF LIFE

When my reading is focused toward the Journals that members of my class are sharing from week to week, my discovery is that these students are attempting to find themselves in their daily lives and to find themselves for their future careers. In a few weeks, another group of students throughout the United States and especially in Florida will be gathering their knowledges that they have achieved during this past academic year. For those who are graduating from high school, their goals will be to obtain a job and eventually a career that they will enjoy. Many of these students have already been exposed to the work world on a part-time basis. As they commence on their journey to find themselves and their chosen career, they will meet many persons along the way who will assist them in networking, partnering, and collaborating activities to maximize their learning potential and their unique opportunities. Hopefully, these enthusiastic persons will locate professionals who will lead them in the right direction regarding admission, financial aid, career counseling, shadowing work areas, and in their career search for their skills, their talents, their interests, their aptitudes, their altitudes, and their positive attitudes.

On the average, many students of lifelong learning discover that they will select at least 6 to 8 career changes in their lifetime. For the minority of these achievers they may be lucky to come across a career that best suits their time, their talents, and their treasures. Lifelong education has no walls except for the walls that individuals set up for themselves as hazards toward their academic and personal goals. Knowing that there are professionals who are available to assist in their adventure is half the battle. In addition, students will find other students who will provide a positive atmosphere to move ahead with creativity, innovation, and persistence as they climb up and down the LIFELONG LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT. Encouragement is meant for all persons at all levels as they pursue that ambitious goals to be happy with themselves and to enjoy their chosen careers. Even in difficult times and challenges, a student of life will rediscover their avenues that best meet their current situation. Changes occur every day without warning and without any expected consequences.

When we reflect on our own families as they continue in their challenges with lifelong learning enhancements and setbacks, we again rediscover that each person needs to make their own personal decisions even without total financial security in the balance. Each birthday reminds us of our growing older but hopefully growing wiser in what we have learned along the way of climbing up and down the Ladder of Achievement. Life experiences can be an excellent Educator. The College of Hard Knocks has many graduates that have succeeded in their lifelong learning challenges. The "Sheep Skin" diplomas and the certificates that are earned along the way toward a particular career gives us confidence in the printed word. However, the concepts that we learned are born out in our daily living the life that will make a difference in our lifelong learning achievements. We learn from one another, and we spread that learning to all that we meet and greet over the years.

May each birthday be a landmark for our continual growth in peace, joy, and love in our lives that will impact the greatest number of persons. May our birthdays give us a legacy to strive for ONE DAY AT A TIME and recognize the Uncaused Cause of this beautiful Universe. May God continue to bless America with all of its richest human resources that have yet to be tapped into service. May America bless God who gives us the human resources with their unique talents and treasures to accomplish those goals that will make our Country truly a UNITED STATES OF AMERICA of which we can all be proud to be a part.
IN GOD WE TRUST, AND IN RESPECT FOR ALL AMERICAN HUMAN RESOURCES. MAY WE ALL EARN A HAND UP RATHER THAN A HAND OUT!
