Success Is A Journey = Graduation signifies that you have accomplished something, but you don’t become successful the day you graduate. You became successful the day you decided to go to school, take the course, pursue the goal. Success is a continual journey that shows up at graduation. Success is not the same as recognition of success. When we graduate we are being recognized for what we did right, yesterday.
