Teachers are special people.

• Learning is the best type of wealth.
• Its easy to carry with you, thieves cant
  steal it,
• bullies cant take it from you, water and fire
  
• cant destroy it.

• When you share your learning, it grows instead
• of getting less.

Be professional, not modest
Teachers seem peculiarly resistant to learning
how to use an interview as a sales pitch. This
may be because we are a naturally modest
profession, because our academic training makes
us very self-critical or because we tend to
denigrate those who pass themselves off well in
interview as being merely good talkers.

planning is that failure comes as a complete
surprise, rather than being preceded by a period
of worry and depression.
