"Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Parenting world-class kids requires dedication! Training requires both doing and giving up.

"It was as much a reaction as anything," Landon Donovan said. "But what went into all of that was a lot of hard work!" USA-1, Algeria-0

Training requires both doing and giving up.

Thomas Edison insightfully stated, "The first requirement of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary." This is the price of "training up children," a single-minded, never giving-up dedication to the highest mark of success any parent may attain.

Or as Earl Nightingale said, "The most important decision in achieving a goal is not what you are willing to do to achieve it, but what you are willing to give up to achieve it."

"Train up a child in the way he/she should go, even when they are grown up, they will not depart from it." Parenting world-class kids requires dedication! Training requires both doing and giving up. What will you need to give up to attain your goal of godly character and life impacting faithfulness in the life of your child?

In the emotion of the afterglow of the incredible victory, Landon Donovan said, "This is what I have worked for and focused on for the last four years! It was as much a reaction as anything...but what went into all of that was a lot of hard work!" USA-1, Algeria-0

Thomas Jefferson expressed it this way: "I'm a great believer in luck...and the harder I work the more I have of it."
