The Road to Your Heart's Desire
In the motivated world of
today, success is something that is
?trilled into our^minds from the time
\e arc a toddler throughout the rest
?>t our livese.
ft is said: If you want to make
it m today s world, you have to sue- ,
ceed, you have to have a title, you
have to be in control, you have to
he at the top.
We, as parents, sit on the ,
bleachers at our child's first sports
jame, anxiously awaiting that
it and -slam home run, or the 40
\ ard touchdown pass that will win
the game by one point, or the final
stretch of the one-mile run when
mt child runs through the ribbon to
ept his or her first-place trophy.
Each of us hopes that our son_

\fncaii_American to take the oath
? ?f the President of the United
States.
Success ? seven little letters
that we pound into the youths of
today. We tell them you have to
succeed in life. It has no racial bar
- parents of every race desire
only the best for their children.
But what is success? To many
of us it is our own dreams being
lived by our children ? the ones
we were unable to accomplish for
many different reasons. Many didn't
have the money to go to college.
Then there were those of us who
didn't care at that time and now i
realize the error of our ways. If we
were able to re-live our youth,
things would be a lot different.
Success, as quoted by Ralph
Waldo Emerson, is "To laugh often
and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and affection of
within.
As a parent, we are proud of
the fact that you were a bench
warmer at all the games you attend
ed and never lost your team spirit,
because you succeeded. As a par
COMMENTARY
By DEBY JO FERGUSON
children; to earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure the betray
al of false friends; to appreciate
beauty, to find the bestin others; to
leave the world a bit better, whether
by a healthy child, a garden patch or
a redeemed social condition; to
know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived. This
is to have succeeded."
Words of wisdom were spoken
from this man, and it all sounds so
simple. But there are a few things
we should add to this list ? for
example, living each day as if it
were your last, being happy at
whatever profession you decide to
go into; never giving only 90 per
cent, always 100 percent ? then
you know you haven't failed.
Children should never try to
accomplish something because it
would make mom and dad proud. If
that is the reason, then your heart's
not in it. Success has to come from
ent, if we never have to look into
your face laying in a hospital bed
from the results of alcohol or drugs,
in our heartsyou have succeeded.
As a parent, if we see you working
toward your dreams giving 100 per
cent, then to us you have succeed
ed.
If you finish high school and
go to college to become your heart's
desire, you have succeeded. If you
finish high school and choose to
raise a family with the person you
love and are happy, then you have
succeeded. If you say "no" to peer
pressure and the evils available to
you within arms reach, then you
have succeeded. If you can walk
away from an unhappy childhood
and direct your life in a positive
direction, you have succeeded.
Success is working toward the
final result of a dream or direction.
If you are happy with your direction
and always work toward it, then
you have succeeded.
