Learning Is an Act of Perseverance

FABLES FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN
READING TIME: 1 MIN

When you mom was a baby, a daily entertainment was watching her trying to feed herself. By tiny fistfuls, she’d transport that bowl of applesauce to her hair, her clothes, the floor — everywhere but her little mouth. She’d always get a taste, which kept her trying, but sometimes she’d just cry with frustration. 

All learning is messy and hard.

How to struggle effectively is one of life’s most critical skills. Without it, you’ll starve a lot more than your body. 

Struggles are the sticky chaos where miracles happen: we learn.  

Be brave and persevere. Applesauce is easy to wipe up.

I love you,
Granny
