Nothing like watching your kids learn to walk to drive this home. The determination that sets in—and there’s a joy when they get a few wobbly steps, and they laugh when they fall too! Then that little face of grit when they rise again. You can watch it again when you see them learn to ride a bike

Wow so true! Excellent point!!

That’s how we learn to walk—by falling, getting up, and enjoying the journey.

Yesterday I watched Dead Poets Society and this post reminds me of Robin Williams first class with the students. Carpe diem. Seize the day. Don’t be afraid to take risks but don’t take them foolishly either. Keep up the good work, TDL.

Carpe diem, bro! I’ve recently been reminding myself that ‘the biggest risk is in not taking risks’. But like you mentioned never in a stupid way.

I'm definitely going to check out that video, thank you!

Dust yourself off and try again, try again"
