educators best serve students by helping them be more self-reflective. The only way any of us can improveโas Coach Graham taught meโis if we develop a real ability to assess ourselves. If we canโt accurately do that, how can we tell if weโre getting better or worse?

Randy PauschTradition, history and respect; that kind of qualities I admire, that I want to see preserved. Time is the only commodity that matters. Being successful doesn't make you manage your time well; managing your time well makes you successful. Goals, Priorities, and Planning. Why am I doing this? What is the goal? Why will I succeed? What happen if I chose not to do it? 'Good judgement comes from experience, experience comes from bad judgement'.
