A Principal's Perspective
I don't know if you do this, but when I am eating cereal in the morning sometimes I find myself reading the box. Well I found myself reading the shower gel label one morning, yes another mindless task, while I enjoyed the hot water. The shower gel label was perfect to take to heart this time of year. Who knew that a shower gel label could be so profound? For this holiday season, I wish you grace and gratitude!
Philosphy Shower Gel Back Label (punctuation is taken straight from label):
Amazing Grace - Philosophy: life is a classroom. we are both student and teacher. each day is a test. and each day we receive a passing or failing grade in one particular subject: grace. grace is compassion, gratitude, surrender, faith, forgiveness, good manners, reverence and the list goes on. being the smartest, the prettiest, the most talented, the richest or even the poorest can't help. being a humble person can, and being a helpful person can guide you through your days with grace and gratitude.
