At Bullis, each year in the Upper School we have a special day called Beyond the Books. This day is a surprise announcement to students, carefully planned with inspirational speakers, activities, and discussion groups. In our pledge to teach the “whole child” and live our motto of “balance”, we devote a day each year to this special enrichment program.
This year, our theme is “Respect in our Community.” To kickstart our day, Josh Shipp did our opening keynote – A Life of Awesomeness.
Success is not defined by intelligence or talent. Character is what sustains one’s success ~@JoshShipp What is your willingness to succeed?

We so often mistakenly believe everyone else has it all figured out. Everyone except for us. The truth: none of us do #talkitout @JoshShipp

#talkAboutIt If things aren’t going well, they aren’t magically going to resolve themselves. “Wishful thinking is not a strategy” @JoshShipp

Can you reframe your *problems* as *opportunities*? Not: why is this happening. Instead: what can I learn from this? ~@JoshShipp
