Pg 139: Mid-course corrections

 

Mothers have sat in my office and cried that some curriculum they had chosen just isn’t working.  They feel like failures, like they are wasting so much time, and they should have known better.

 

Well, it occurs to me that when NASA sends a rocket into orbit to do a job, they are forced to make mid-course corrections.  Mid-course corrections are used AFTER the rocket is launched to compensate for unknown variables.

 

NASA -- with the greatest math and science minds in the world -- all focused on the mission of this rocket -- even NASA is forced to make mid-course-corrections!

 

If it’s good enough for NASA, it should be  good enough for you.

 

You are not a failure, you are not incompetent. You simply are in flight, on a mission, and need mid-course corrections.
