Amy and I went to a meeting for my son’s PSAT prep class. The teachers flashed a slide up on the screen that read:
The best predictor of SUCCESS:
• Grit
• Self-Control
• Zest
• Social Intelligence
• Gratitude
• Optimism
• Curiosity
I’m not an expert, but I think that’s a pretty solid list. Not only are the qualities I hope my sons have, it’s a worthy list for me to remember at the start of each and every day.
