motivation and success do you have it in you to succeed?
TRANSCRIPT
BRILL elementary school has given you many of the tools to help you succeed…
Which tools can
you name?
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more
places you'll go.”
Internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction; desire or want that energizes and directs
goal-oriented behavior
Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a perfect sendoff for children, 1 to 100, entering any new phase of their lives. Kindergartners, graduate students, newlyweds, newly employeds--all will glean shiny pearls of wisdom about the big, bountiful future. The incomparable Dr. Seuss rejoices in the potential everyone has to fulfill their wildest dreams: "You'll be on your way up! / You'll be seeing great sights! / You'll join the high fliers / who soar to high heights." At the same time, he won't delude the starry-eyed upstart about the pitfalls of life: "You can get all hung up / in a prickle-ly perch. / And your gang will fly on. / You'll be left in a Lurch.“
