The Tom Landry Story
Ten year high school reunions are interesting to say the least! Many of the popular kids who had been trend setters in school become the “hard luck stories” ten years after graduation. At twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age, some still can’t hold a steady job!
Other former classmates who had quietly and diligently gone about their business in school become doctors, district managers, office executives, and technical experts ten years later. They are the ones who make good money and still have time to spend with their families and friends instead of spending all their time working at lower paying jobs just to pay the bills!
You know, hard work is absolutely necessary in order to thrive or even survive in the real world. And members of any former high school class who went on to enjoy success did it by building a solid foundation, by taking the opportunities for education seriously, and by working hard. It just takes a little vision and a little planning.
