    Thanks. I needed the gentleness and respect reminder today, after experiencing less than that from a person sharing their hope with me, last week.

    Right on, Mitch! Every teacher ought to have this hanging on their wall. Wait, make that every adult! My father, a high school math teacher, knew how to bring out the best in teenagers that others had labeled lost causes. As a former rebel himself, he understood that non-conformists often make the best leaders.

    Long one of my fave aphorisms, the Goethe. Not always easy to remember to implement. 🙂

    Beautiful! It is great to be reminded that we each have a role to play in the full unfolding of other people.
