Sanford N. McDonnell Lifetime Achievement Award
in Character Education - 2005
|
WELCOME
Hal Urban's message is about one thing:
GOOD CHARACTER
His teaching, writing, and speaking are about what
he calls "old-fashioned goodness":
|
Positive attitude
Respect and kindness
Hard work
Honesty and integrity
Thankfulness
Humor and laughter
Life-long learning
|
He has no "secret" for becoming successful, no "magic formula" for complete happiness, no "amazing new techniques" for attaining the American Dream, no "quick and easy" ways to become rich and powerful, and no "unique method" for getting everything you want.
He does, however, have a time-honored formula
for a good life - one of achievement, meaning, purpose, inner peace, friendship, and joy.
