Co-Scholastic
” Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. “
” Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviour. “
” Keep your behaviour positive, because your behaviour becomes your habits. “
” Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. “
” Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny. “
