PRINCIPLE: “Owe No One Anything”

A person close to me failed one subject this semester in college.  This person was devastated internally but is not showing it.  This happened a few times in the past already.  When I counseled this person, I don’t usually look at the current failure;  instead – I cast a vision of how the future will look like.  I explained to this person that the current failure matters but is not critical to the overall fulfillment of the vision, mission and objective.

School+Education+Job => 1 Make It – 2 Save It – 3 Invest It – 4 Enjoy It – 5 Share It

10 years from now, we will look back and reminisce this moment and see how irrelevant this failure is.

Here’s my notes of encouragement.
