Unlocking the Power of Thought

Dean H. Echison's parents provided for him and raised him well, but it wasn't until law school that he discovered the tremendous power of thought. With the help of his professors, he became aware of the unlimited material and potential for learning and growth. This discovery propelled him to become one of the top legal minds of his time and eventually the Secretary of State. However, it's also sad that this realization came so late in life. As parents, it is our responsibility to not just provide for our children's basic needs, but to also introduce them to the power of thought and the limitless possibilities of learning and exploration. We must give them the tools to navigate the world of ideas and equip them to succeed.
