Tradition is a great way to celebrate where we have come from and what we have accomplished, but to live in the past, to not grow, to not learn new things, to not change, and to not adapt with the new knowledge available does not honour the hardships and lack of knowledge our predecessors, including our families, had to deal, cope with, and even struggle with when they were parents, teachers, employees, employers, etc, so let’s choose to advance ourselves and those who follow us … to honour those who came before us.
