There are going to be areas that we excel in, there are going to be areas that we improve in, and there are going to be areas that we struggle in. <strong>AND THAT\u2019S OKAY<\/strong>. Why? Because we weren\u2019t designed to go through life alone. My strengths can help you in your weaknesses, your strengths can help me in my weaknesses, and together we can move forward to bigger and better things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are absolutely times when we need help (and there\u2019s nothing wrong with seeking and pursuing help), <strong>HONESTY<\/strong>, <strong>HUMILITY<\/strong>, and <strong>HARD-WORK<\/strong> will be a lot more beneficial and long-lasting than the pursuit of the handout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Proverbs 22:4&nbsp;says, \u201c<em>By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.<\/em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Proverbs 29:23&nbsp;says, \u201c<em>A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.<\/em>\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">James 4:10&nbsp;says, \u201c<em>Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.<\/em>\u201d<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, Tim Donahue published an article in The New York Times titled \u2013 \u201cIf Everyone Gets an A, No One Gets an A.\u201d The purpose of the article was to consider the issue of \u201cgrade-inflation.\u201d Grade-inflation is a term that deals with the drastic rise in college students receiving an A grade.
