I hope everyone has had a good week so far. My day today was pretty great. I had a post-conference about a peer observation and it went really well. :) It's always nice to have your efforts recognized by others. I also met with my team to do our weekly team planning session, and we always have such a good time with each other. I'm so blessed, guys. It's crazy.
So, anyway, on to our thoughts for this Thursday. First up, some thoughts on learning.
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty." ~Henry Ford
"If the past cannot teach the present and the father cannot teach the son, then history need not have bothered go on, and the world has wasted a great deal of time." ~Russell Hoban
"You have learned something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something." ~H.G. Wells
"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily." ~Thomas Szasz
"We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself." ~Lloyd Alexander
And now, with the weather we've been having, some thoughts on rain.
"Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain." ~Billie Holiday
"The first drops of rain always bring a smile on our faces. The smell of wet soil, the damp grass, and the slosh of puddles under our feet make us want to dance with wanton joy. Rain makes a heart go romantic. Ever danced in the rain? The feeling is inexplicably beautiful. Hold your sweetheart's hand and walk in the rain while the clouds play cupid." ~G.K. Chesterton
"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby." ~Langston Hughes, April Rain Song
"A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods." ~Rachel Carson
"Rain! whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains." ~Henry Ward Beecher
And to round out our thoughts today, we'll end with some thoughts on success.
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." ~Winston Churchill
"There is no point at which you can say, 'Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.'"~Carrie Fisher
"Try to discover
The road to success
And you'll seek but never find,
But blaze your own path
And the road to success
Will trail right behind."
~Robert Brault
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome." ~Booker T. Washington
"How can they say my life is not a success? Have I not for more than sixty years got enough to eat and escaped being eaten? ~Logan Smith
So there you have it, my friends. I hope you found some tidbit that spoke to you today. If you ever think of a great topic to feature on a Thursday post, please feel free to let me know and post about it in the comments section. :)
I'll talk to you kids tomorrow--on FRIDAY! Yay!
