Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

I love looking up fun and inspirational quotes to suit my mood.  Today I happened upon this one and thought it was highly appropriate as we get ever closer to our first day back at school.

"The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson."- Tom Bodett

Perhaps we need to change how we teach our children, since it seems like life lessons are always a bit easier to remember long term than typical school lessons.

*I don't really know if Tom Bodett said this, but no matter who did, I like it.  :)
