*** Here are a few words of wisdom: 

Sophocles (SOFF oh klees) was an ancient Greek writer. He wrote about 
heroes whose lives ended in tragedy. If Sophocles had lived in our time,
he might have written about the heroic but tragic life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Here's what Sophocles has to say to us today:
     It would be perfect if we always knew what is the right thing
     to do, but, because we don't always know, we should learn
     from the people who can teach us.*
Sophocles is saying we need to pay attention to those who can teach us
right from wrong, whether it's our parents or our spiritual leaders or our
school counselors or our teachers. Learning right from wrong is 
an important part of learning to be the very best you can be.

***With something to think about,  Make it a great day....or not. The choice is yours.
