In whatever you pursue... constant and careful measurement can become an extremely important component to understanding and recognizing your success. Today we decided on our mission statement as a class:
"As passionate students, we are proud to put forth our best efforts while striving for
simple perfection."
~Spring 2011 Restaurant Class
Everyone seemed to be pretty happy with what we came up with together. This will be one of our measuring standards to abide by for the entire time we are apart of this learning experience. A standard that we should carry with us beyond graduation I am sure. If we are successful in running this teaching restaurant, which I have confident we will be, then we will have met the expectations we estimated with high hopes and strived for. There is so much more I can say about this. Measure is a lot bigger word than I realized but for now I am going to conclude with this quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
| “To measure up to all that is demanded of him, a man must overestimate his capacities” | |
