Lou Holtz's 10 Rules For Success
1- The Power of Attitude. The attitude you choose to assume toward life and everything it brings you will determine whether you realize your aspirations.
2- Tackle Adversity. To achieve success, you are going to have to solve problems. If you react positively to them, you’ll be stronger and better than ever. I’ve never encountered a person who achieved anything that didn’t require overcoming obstacles. Expect them.
3- Have a Sense of Purpose. Understand what you are trying to do. Stay completely focused on your original and primary purpose. Do not be sidetracked.
4- Make Sacrifice Your Ally. You can’t be successful without making sacrifices. Most losing organizations are overpopulated with people who constantly complain about life’s difficulties. They will drain your enthusiasm and energy. Take pride in making sacrifices and having self-discipline.
5- Adapt or Die. Things are always changing, so embrace the fact that your life and career are always in transition.
6- Chase Your Dreams. All great accomplishments start with a dream. Dreams fuel your enthusiasm and vision. They give you a burning desire to get up in the morning and achieve.
7- Nurture Your Self-Image. A positive self-image grows out of having strong character. To be trustworthy, committed to excellence, and show care for others are the underpinnings of a successful person.
8- Foster Trust. All relationships are based on trust. Continually ask yourself, “Is this the right thing to do?” Do what you feel is right regardless of peer pressure or personal desires; success and confidence will not be far behind.
9- Commit to Excellence. Do everything to the best of your abilities. When you lower standards, you only invite mediocrity.
10- Handle with Care. Treat others as you would like to be treated—with concern and care
— Lou Holtz, from his book Winning Every Day

STEM is an approach and a way of thinking for educators — and, to a certain extent, parents — to help students integrate knowledge across subjects by incorporating flipped learning and encouraging them to think in a more logical and holistic way in order to be equipped with 21st century skills.
