It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the business of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against
the wrong wall.Stephen R. Covey

how to learn. Alvin Toffler

THE LEADER WHO HAD NO TITLE

Robin Sharma

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare
wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say: Here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well.”
Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

“Inside each and every one of us is one true
authentic swing. Somethin’ we was born with. Somethin’ that’s ours and ours alone.”

WHAT DO YOU MAKE?
![Page 40: FET: Finding rhythm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/540046918d7f7289408b46c4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make a C+ feel like the Medal of Honour winner.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents CAN’T make them sit for 5 without an IPod, Game Cube or movie rental.
I make kids wonder; I make them question.
![Page 41: FET: Finding rhythm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/540046918d7f7289408b46c4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
I make them apologise and mean it. I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them to write. Keyboarding isn’t everything. I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in Math. They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my classroom a place where all students feel safe.
![Page 42: FET: Finding rhythm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/540046918d7f7289408b46c4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard and follow their hearts they can succeed in life.
Then, when people judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant.
Do you still want to know what I make?I make a DIFFERENCE!

“Attitude isn’t everything, but it is one thing that can make a difference in
your life. If you think you can do something, that’s confidence. If you
can do it, that’s competence. Both are needed for success”
Taken from “The difference maker”by John C Maxwell
