Never lower your Expectations
by unknown
|
|
"It is my belief that the major problem in the world is the lowering of expectations," says 12-year-old Tampa Shriners patient Benjamin Carpenter. "Today, we reward people for 'trying' instead of 'doing'. The most obvious example of this is with education. If a student tries and fails, the student is still rewarded for the effort. Short term, this seems like a good idea, but does it really help the student? My answer is no, because once the student becomes an adult and enters the real world, results are what matters."
