I was recently asked where I garner my inspiration, passion and drive? So, this week I have chosen to share one of my favourite quotes by Denzel Washington who, when receiving an award for being the Most Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture, said:

‘Without commitment, you’ll never start, but more importantly, without consistency, you’ll never finish.’

He went on to say,Ìý‘Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship will ever be, so keep moving, keep growing, keep learning – see you at work!’

I encourage our students (and our community) to take a moment to watch this short 2 minute clip –Ìý

My challenge to you is to imagine yourself sitting in that audience. Read the emotion on their faces and do more than hear the message; feel the message! Then think about the application to your context at home, at school and in your interactions within the community. RememberÌý‘it is what you do next that counts most’.

One step at a time!
