College students striving for success should remember that balance is key. Reba McEntire’s words,
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone.
Capture this beautifully. Success requires dreams and aspirations (the wishbone), the strength and resilience to pursue them (the backbone), and the ability to find joy and humor even during challenges (the funny bone). Leadership programs should teach students that while ambition and perseverance are essential, maintaining a sense of humor and lightness is equally important. This holistic approach helps students navigate their journeys with determination, courage, and joy, creating well-rounded leaders ready to inspire others.
