(from mom Janine ) Here is Colin Smith's submission. I've typed it up but these are his words:
What I Have Learned From the Edge 2 Learning For Life Series, by Colin Smith (5 years old):
Story 1:
I learned from Orrin Woodward's 1st story during candy bar sales, people didn't have any money. Orrin Woodward went to the bank because people at the bank had money and he sold all his candy bars.
Respond positively or negatively - only let positive soak into my head.
I am going to learn from my mistakes.
Story 2:
He was running laps. He's gonna take it easy, doing good. He was going for a sprint. Show me the money! Don't let others believe what you can do. Refuse to fail.
Story 3:
There were kids playing basketball, one wasn't good. They were down and then iceman was back. Just keep getting it to iceman. Orrin Woodward was the tv announcer and calling him iceman.
Everyone was speaking positive.
If you believe it, you can achieve it.
How sweet! What a smart and insightful 5 yr. old. Well said Colin! He is very cute too! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank You Very Much for your comment it is greatly appreciated. Colin has grown up listening to Team & Life CDs for almost his entire life and it shows. We are involved in the greatest educational system on the planet.
DeleteLearn from mistakes! Refuse to fail! If you believe it you can achieve it! It doesn't get any simpler and more profound than that!! I LOVE the simplicity and innocence of 5 year old, Colin! Thank you Colin, for reminding me to keep it simple!! Great job! Peggi
ReplyDeleteWe thank you for your nice words Peggi. We have read him all the comments and he absolutely loves them.
DeleteWow Colin what a smart young man you are!!! I couldn't have said any better than Peggy did!! You follow those 3 rules in life Colin and you will be a success at whatever you chose to do in life! Thanks Colin for sharing and putting it in perspective how easy success in life can be!!

DeleteGreat job Colin. Just like Peggi said, the simplicity of his perspective is so true. Principles are principles and it is us who change the techniques. We just need to attack life like a 5 year through simplicity, innocence and how they dream! Thanks Colin for the reminder!!!. -Kate
