I hope your long weekend was great! We certainly needed it! I hope you took the advice of the “Friday
Flush” and got some great rest!
This quote is a great way to start a week in my
opinion. We need to be people of
action. Study after study has proven
that successful people don’t give up.
They find a way to win, achieve, or reach their goals without taking “no”
for an answer. Successful people simply
don’t take the easy way out by saying “oh that is too hard” or “that is
impossible.” They find a way, and more
importantly, they never doubted they could do it the whole time.
Randy Pausch, the famous “last lecture” professor, said in
that famous speech that walls are put up in life not to stop us, but to
separate those that really want something from those that don’t. If we really want to achieve something, we
will find a way around any wall.
That is what we do as educators. There are many kids that some would say “can’t
learn” or they “can’t read” or “they will never catch up.” But, we don’t give up. We see potential where others would take the
easy way out. We know that moving
forward slowly is still moving forward.
Action is trying something new….action is not throwing your
hands up and walking away….action is making a difference.
I appreciate you guys….you don’t quit….you see the good in
kids and their potential when the kids don’t see it….you help them see it and
feel it….
I hope this is a great week….Happy Monday!
