the Boy's big opportunity

Our son plays tennis, and his club has just asked him to join a new youth program that will see him get a lot of exposure this summer. He'll have more access to the courts, but he'll also effectively have a volunteer job helping the club with their tournaments and all the other stuff that the adult members do. This first engagement will last all summer.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.

—Albert Einstein
