The diploma is recognition of what you have done the previous four or five years.?

You see, you were a success in your freshman year when you decided not drop out of school like some of your other classmates, and decided to stick to it.?

And you were a success every time you studied for a test. And you were a success every time you did a project, or did a writing assignment.?

You see, you're a success all through school. You're a success every day.?

Success is a daily thing, not a destination thing.?

The day you got the diploma you just got recognized for the success that you already were. And that's very essential. Because so many times, people have a tendency to devalue the moment, today.?

What they do is they greatly value the destination. And so they kind of talk about, well, when I get there or if I arrive there, or when I do that or when I accomplish this.?

And they don't understand that success is a daily thing. And I'm here to share with you that the secret of success is determined by your daily agenda.?
