Last week, I wrote about Rachel’s Challenge and the five individual challenges posed to our students on October 11. The first challenge was to: “Look for the best in others – eliminate prejudice.” This week’s challenge is to: “Dream big – write your goals – start a journal.” Rather than giving you my perspective on written goals, here is what other smart people have said:
