The High Five
Here are five guiding principles to help you understand yourself better and take more initiative in your own learning.
| 1. | Change is constant - adaptability is one of the most important skills you'll carry into the next century. To achieve this you must learn the discipline of "Acceptance", which will be crucial for you to attain success. |
| 2. | Learning is ongoing - the end of school doesn't mean the end of learning. Opportunities to learn are all around, and you will need to take advantage of them. |
| 3. | Focus on the journey - life is not a destination. It's an exciting trip with many directions and goals that may change. The better part of life is "just showing up." So, show up for life and see where it takes you. Be confident of your abilities and be prepared to learn new ones. |
| 4. | Follow your heart - let your dreams shape your goals so that you go after what you really want. |
| 5. | Team up with your allies/be an ally - your friends, family and teachers can be valuable resources in helping you achieve your goals. |
