Promoting People

It has been my deliberate policy to promote people, not on what the eyes can see, but the mind's eye -- which is, to promote people on potential, not proof. I was reminded this week that wife E. was once one of those I promoted. Due to political protests and riots, her final school year was for the most part disrupted. She failed four out of six final subjects. In the face of that, I recommended her to a major seminary. Today she has obtained, so far, four distinctions as an undergraduate. See also Taking a Chance.
