I suppose each generation's parents wonder where they went wrong or what they could have done differently to make their children more prepared to face the world. It's not uncommon to think that maybe things would be better if we had been a little tougher. The big surprise is, our parents asked the same questions as did theirs before them. The first item in the kit is Determination . Determination makes the difference between going the distance or getting sidetracked by an easy destination.
Determination helps an individual to set goals and persevere.
The second item necessary for surviving is a Sense of Direction . Without the ability to look ahead and decide where one wants to go, it is unlikely that the destination will ever be reached. Too many times students are pulled aside because they do not know where they are headed. Third on my list is Tenacity . The sheer guts to make it through the hard times with eyes focused on the expected outcome is necessary because it is not always an easy course to steer.
