Having Character

"Success is in the way you walk the paths
of life each and every day,

It’s in the little things you do
and in the things you say,

It’s not in reaching heights or fame,
It’s not in reaching goals that all men
seek to claim.

Success is being big of heart,

clean, and broad of mind.
Success is being faithful

to your friends, and the stranger, kind.

Success is in your teammates, your family,
and what they learn from you,
Success is having character in everything you do."

-Grant Teaff, Coaching in the Classroom
