毅力 & 格蕾丝

"Good teaching can be a fundamentally selfless endeavor. In addition to continually expanding knowledge of their field, teachers seek to improve their teaching for the benefit of their students. Considered as such, good teachers are filled with plenty of grace along with grit. The extraordinarily powerful motivation they gain from making a difference for others—from gazing outward, 而不是向内, 从无私开始, not self-absorbed—reveals their commitment to an ethos of grace."
365平台的校训是: 美德与美德 — by grit and grace—defines and distinguishes the Westminster experience, 我们的社区和校友. 毅力 and grace are two words that balance each other alliteratively, 但更重要的是, 鼓舞人心地互补.
 
“其核心是, grit offers a positive pathway to personal development through hard work, thereby diminishing the relevance of talent and offering opportunities otherwise thought unattainable. Proponents of grit argue that qualities of character emphasizing persistence and effort offer a better predictor of success in life than the “gift” of talent." 
 
换句话说,勇气就是力量. It offers more control over the personal and professional narratives.
But a successful, meaningful life cannot only be about grit. 当考虑到恩典的意义, the following aphorism resonates: “格蕾丝 isn’t a little prayer you say before receiving a meal. 这是一种生活方式.“恩典是对他人的意识. It is about thinking beyond self, to what can be done to support others.
 
在365平台, grace also means the small daily courtesies extended to others by greeting them, holding the door open and being polite and respectful.
 
Schools are not simply about teaching academic lessons, 但是在别人的陪伴下学习, 学生能完成的远不止一个人. 以这种方式, they not only develop an appreciation of differing perspectives and circumstances but empathy. 格蕾丝 is essential to any successful community, organization, institution or school. 没有恩典,我们只能靠自己. 格蕾丝 inspires us to overcome the challenges presented by the hard work of grit.
 
通过平衡勇气和优雅, students are able to expand their opportunities for successful and fulfilling lives. 在一起, 毅力 & 格蕾丝 为过得好的生活提供一个座右铭.
