Steve Jobs -- Friday Flush


On the Friday during the week of the launch of the IOS 8 seems like the perfect time for a Steve Jobs quote.

This quote is so true, and it for sure could be said by teachers world-wide.  We do what we do because we love it, and we see it benefit that is far greater than ourselves.

But, this quote goes beyond that.  It isn’t just about “us” or “me.”  Loving what I do is great because “I” love it….it is kinda selfish.  I do what I do because it is good for me.  But, this quote goes much further.  We do a GREAT WORK because of this love.  If you love what you do, you dig deeper, you try harder, you don’t give up, and you make a true difference.  You guys do that.  You do GREAT things because you are dedicated to your job and your mission.

I love bragging on you guys and the work that you do…I know it isn’t easy.  I will never promise you an easy road here, but in June I know we will look back and see the great work we did, the obstacles we overcame, and the students we positively impacted.

I would encourage you this weekend to look at the things in life that you love to do…look for why you love them…look for how to increase those.  Are there things you do “just because” or that don’t get your passion?  Are there people that suck your passion?  Find ways to increase the things you love to do and decrease those you don’t.  We can make things better in our own life by looking at where to put our passion to make things GREAT.

Thanks for being a GREAT staff…I hope your weekend is restful and wonderful.


Happy Friday!
