The John Deere Story
Have you ever thought about the people around us who seem to have everything they could want, whose lives are in order, and whom everyone considers to be successful? And then on the other hand, there are those who are struggling just to keep their lives together. What’s the difference? Well, one big difference is the foundation that they either did or did not build for themselves.
Think about it like this. If you built a house right on the ground with no foundation, you wouldn’t have much of a house. In fact, you would constantly be working just to keep it from falling down!
Education is a cornerstone in our foundations. And the time to take education seriously is right now while you’re young, before the responsibilities of life overwhelm you. Just remember, it’s nearly impossible to go back and place a proper foundation under a building already started!
