Achievement and Success

 “Can you look at my essay on success,” Brat Boy asked as he joined Dr. Deb and me on the deck.

“Sure,” I said. “When is it due? I can probably go over it in a day or two.”

“It’s due tomorrow at 7:00 a.m.”

“How long have you known about this?” I asked.

“Six weeks.”

“You’re killing me,” I said. I read his essay. “I think you left out an important point. Achievement is reaching a goal. Success is reaching that goal honestly, while holding onto your values.”

Today I will strive to be a success.
