"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Good Heroes Promote Good Ideas



Finally! Finally we hear some good people promoting some good ideas. NASA just put out these four half-minute videos of various astronauts (either currently in space or going to be very shortly) talking about how the knowledge and skills that they learned in high school has made a big difference in where their careers have led. They may all say the same thing, but it surely is refreshing to hear good heroes promoting good ideas....like staying in school!! One of my favorite astronauts (Ron Garan) speaks in the video above.

On another note....just yesterday Ron Garan posted again on Fragile Oasis about living in space. He highlighted how he sleeps, how he exercises (clue: he's flying over Australia!) and the celebration aboard the ISS of Yuri Gagarin's flight 50 years ago. I highly recommend it! Read the article here.
