Embrace the Possibility

In Rodd Lucier's blog post "A Lesson Worthy of an A" he has a Pop!Tech video that you need watch. Benjamin Zander is an inspirational, life changing and possibly world changing teacher.
He speaks about the world of "possibility" - for your life and mine and how we can help our students to embrace opportunities and possibilities rather than the downward spiral of life as most of us know it.

What will you do today?

Reminders to myself..

As all of us do. I momentarily forget the things that are most important to me and here I am being given the chance to remind myself.

How do I live my life? What is important? What will others remember about me?

If you believe that you can or cannot, either way you are right. It is most important what you do, not what you say. We learn from our failures not our successes. Money does not buy happiness. A person that has passion about something that they can make a living at, is a happy person indeed.

What is inside us is more important than what is on the outside. Show, don't tell. We cannot change others, we can only change ourselves. When a brick wall or other obstacle is in our way, it is a valuable opportunity to find a solution. Take time to dream. Make your dreams come true. Always be honest- don't lie.

We all make mistakes. When you apologize, make it sincere without expectations of forgiveness. Remember to forgive others. Holding onto negative thoughts only hurts myself. Conversely, positive yet realistic thoughts are healthy for me. Live your life today as if it was your last. Remember to see the humor and love all around you. If you wait long enough people will surprise and impress you. You might have to wait a long time but all of us have good inside us.

We need each other.
