The kids today were in another land, they understand that today is Monday but there mind is already onto Thursday, I am afraid tomorrow will be worse. We have moved into our employment chapter and it is so funny to listen to what these students want to do with their life. I have no reason to crush their dreams, I want them to want great things but I try and tell them it takes a lot of work to get the jobs that they want. I ask them to dream big, I ask them to want good things down the road but I want to make sure they understand it takes work to get where you want to be. I am pretty sure that there are not many homeless people who want to live on the street. I show them what it takes to become different professions, we talk about how to better their self and I let them know that is all starts today and tomorrow and the next day. One of the students said he wanted to be a doctor, another student said if you were a doctor there is now way I would come to your office. Once I told him that, that was not very nice and to keep his comments to himself it made me think. Then I asked them what do you think about your peers matter, 10 years down the road even if you have changed and you move back to town people are going to remember the way you acted when they knew you. Be a good person, do the right thing and you will not have to worry about people not wanting to come to your practice.
The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success.
