Back To School Words Of Wisdom

by mpopp / Sunday, 25 August 2019 / Published in Back to School, College Fairs, Popp & Associates Newsletter
Every summer, I hope to share words of wisdom that will inspire families as we embark on a new school year. As the first day of school approaches, many students and parents are feeling a mix of emotions-excitement, fear, and hope among others. I would like to share with you some of my favorite quotes that have challenged me to leave my comfort zone and take risks and given me hope in difficult moments. May these words of wisdom offer you strength and inspiration in the days ahead. To find more helpful advice, please see our August newsletter.
“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” – Jim Rohn
“All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.” -Michael John Bobak
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” – Confucious
“Never fail means never learn. Never learn means never grow.” – Wilson Kanadi
“The most courageous act of leadership is yielding the need to be right.” -Dan Rockwell
“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”  -B.B. King
“Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.” – Henry Ward Beecher
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” -Henry Ford
I wish all of our clients and colleagues the very best as the new school year begins.
Warmly,
Mindy Popp
