A few days ago a wrote about R.J Palacio's book 'Wonder'. (here)
In this book there is a brilliant English teacher called Mr Browne. Each month he gives his students a 'precept' and asks them to write about what it means to them.
"A precept is anything that helps guide us when making decisions about really important things."
- Mr Browne, Wonder
In honor of Mr Brown my first precept is one of his own. 'Your deeds are your monuments.' This apparently came from an Egyptian tomb. I love what Auggie has to say about this quote...
"The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast or mortality... That is why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of stone." - August Pullman, Wonder
