Can I Help My Son Succeed Before He Fails?
Through the years I, like many parents, have paid close attention to what is presented to my children within the school system.
Respect, integrity, honesty, dedication, self esteem are all important qualities in my opinion.
My son was born with strong will and determination that quickly demonstrated his character. As he was starting to learn how to communicate his frustration was in getting his determined point across.
Early in childhood his leadership qualities became evident. When he came to me last year asking to be taken out of the school system and be home schooled, I knew he was ready. I knew that since it was his idea, his choice that we would succeed. When ever Samuel decided to do something or that he wanted something he made it happen.
I have always tried to enhance his strengths. For that reason we worked on leading in a positive effective way from a very young age. He was quite receptive to it especially because I didn't let on that I was teaching him. I hope he isn't going to read this...
Another reason I engaged in extra communication and positive leadership is he was the focus of bullying frequently. My angle was to provide him with a skill set to deal with it in a positive manner as well as build his self esteem so that he believed in himself.
As we started our homeschool mission I presented him with leaders that I wanted us to study. He came back to me a few months later with some Zig Ziglar quotes. He told me what they meant to him. Samuel found the simplicity and nuts and bolts advice of Zig Ziglar resonated with him. It made sense.
A new chapter was started!
Zig Ziglar has affected many people in his presentations and books. He Encourages others to believe in themselves.
He was a relentless purveyor of hope and a merchant of methods to turn hope from aspiration to reality
Zig Ziglar has died
Zig Ziglar will continue to be present in our homeschooling
Zig Ziglar's words will still be advice that will help people turn failure towards success
It is my hope that many people take action with motivation learned from people like Zig Ziglar.
It is my hope that my son continues to believe in himself. I hope that he always knows that he is amazing.
If you do listen to motivational speakers...do you take action on what you learn?
If you have a favorite motivational speaker...is it Zig Ziglar?
