Grades are an important thing, but they’re not the MOST important thing. The school uses grades to measure your success, but your father and I do not.We care more about your character. Success in our house looks like kindness, compassion, and grace. Success looks like loving your friends, your family, and even your enemies. Success looks like respecting your authorities. It looks like approaching your work with excellence and taking pride in what you’ve done.It’s important that you DO your best, but it is not at all important that you BE the best. In life, there will always be someone taller, stronger, and more talented. But you are the only you that God created. Until the year you were born, there had never been a “you” before, with your exact DNA, fingerprints, talents, and gifts. And when you’re gone, there will never be another “you.” You are the only “you” who ever existed.It’s the same for you and me.The world uses achievements to measure your success, but your Heavenly Father does not.
