Work hard, be kind

Judy Davis recently retired after decades of dedicated service as the principal of North Davis Elementary School.  Her students were her life and she was famous for knowing the name of every single child at school and bringing her guitar to the classrooms to sing songs.  My daughter was fortunate enough to attend North Davis, and when it was time for her to graduate, I looked forward to Judy's graduation ceremony speech.  What parting words of wisdom would this icon share with those being launched into the world of junior high?  Judy, being Judy, took only one minute on the center stage, just long enough to share these words of wisdom:  "work hard and be kind to others."  Can you imagine what the world would look like if everyone took her advice to heart?
