If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. -Michael Jordan

"Each new day gives me another opportunity to grow stronger as a person, to meditate on the things I'm learning, and to use all that knowledge to benefit me." ~ Aree Flack-Mccrimmon

"To be a teacher does not mean simply to affirm that such a thing is so, or to deliver a lecture, etc. No, to be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner, put yourself in his place so that you may understand what he understands and the way he understands it." -- Kierkegaard
