Dick Glover was the presenter at the March 24th meeting of STRIVE. Dick presentation was on “Dreams – The Crystallization Process”. Dick spoke about the importance of having a positive attitude and that the STRIVE students can accomplish their dreams with the right attitude and effort. Glover shared his journey from becoming an aeronautic engineer to becoming a NW pilot and his love of flying.
“You have to ask yourself three questions,” said Glover, “1. What do you want to accomplish? (What’s going to be the direction of your life?) 2. Why do you want to accomplish it? (What motivates you?) And, What will I gain if I accomplish it? (What’s the ultimate reward?).” He gave the students a sheet with two columns – one column was “Ways to Accomplish” their dreams and the other was entitled “Obstacles” which they may encounter along the way. “Now formulate a plan and implement it!” says Dick. “If you can dream it you can do it!” Dick then went on to say, “Ask yourself three more questions – 1. Is my dream worth the time? Is my dream worth the effort? And, Is my dream worth the money?” Glover suggested that the students look for affirmations for their plan so that they know that they are on the right track to achieving their dreams and goals. “Once you get there,” says Glover with a big smile, “start on a new dream!”
Dick then had the students and mentors split-up into discussion groups to talk about the student’s dreams and future plans and any obstacles they may be having in reaching their goals.
STRIVE has only three more meetings to finish-up the year. The next meeting of STRIVE will be on April 21st at 10 a.m. with Hugh Gilmore presenting “Values: Ethics and Morality.”
