On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
The only things that really matter are the things we do for others.
Teaching personifies doing things for others.
So yesterday, June 10, after offering up my time to mentor someone from the other side of the world and someone on other side of town, i had a reflective moment.
Teaching others can reach a level were you’re actually paying back all the teachers who helped you get to where you are today.
And now today, i’m weirdly aware that in 90 days, this will go live and everyone will be remembering September 11th.
i had been a speaker (teacher) only 2.5 years and was teaching at Epcot the morning the world stop turning.
Now i’ve been a speaker teacher for 17 years.
Who cares?
It took 40 years to discover i was born to teach.
How long did it take you to discover what you were born to do?
How long have you been doing what you were born to do?

There’s no school for what i need to learn. No book i can follow with step-by-step instructions.
i believe this is the main reason the journey is so long, grueling, and scary uncertain.
The possibly of being the captain of my own ship compels me to pursue what i am certain will also be a rewarding journey.

i am taught attitude about optimism by others, who become great examples or stern warnings.
This is also how we teach others who are watching us.

We “force” him to go to after school activities simply to be exposed to social situations.
Had to think for a moment, and it bothered me that i couldn’t instantaneously remember the fourth one.
Honesty
Behave admirably
Personally responsibility
Self-control
He learned the first one as a young boy, the other three were added over the years. Behaving admirably was added in elementary school. Three and four added during adolescence.
A teen’s attitude is shaped by many things. One of the most obvious, and most taken for granted, is the home.
PS. “Initiative” was added after entering ninth grade. On deck for this Summer is “fun”.
