Always Thinking...

I have a homeroom class this year that I don't

actually TEACH per say - I just meet with them every day for 10 minutes

and go over announcements, events, school stuff and personal problems too.

For me that can either be productive time (learning time that is)

or just shoot the S*** kinda stuff.

I like being productive.

Period.

SO always trying to think of a quote of the day 

(i don't normally like quotes but makes for good discussions) 

Pictures that they have to guess, time, place, date, significance.

Think we will be starting a book together.

We even did some math the other day - I KNOW! Wow Lauren.

But then a friend sent me this and well, I thought maybe it was time I posted

something more sensible on my blog...a couple of these I really enjoyed.

Cheers, I am going to bed while you all get up - WEIRD!

;-p

p.s. Any suggestions, things I can do, fabulous insight to share??? 

p.p.s. Be prepared, there are 21 little antidotes to read...smile and drink your coffee, eh?

ONE.

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.  

 

TWO.

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

 (THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE - HIT ME LIKE A OF BRICKS!

DUH - WHY HADN'T ANYONE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE?)

THREE.

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

 

FOUR.

When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.  

 

FIVE..

When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye..

 

SIX.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

 

SEVEN..

Believe in love at first sight.  

 

EIGHT.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams.

People who don't have dreams don't have much.

 

NINE....

Love deeply and passionately.

You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely

 

TEN..

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

 

ELEVEN.  

Don't judge people by their relatives.  

 

TWELVE.

Talk slowly but think quickly.  

 

THIRTEEN.

When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'

 

FOURTEEN.

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

 

FIFTEEN.

Say 'bless you in GERMAN' when you hear someone sneeze - hahah (lauren's advice)

 

SIXTEEN.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.  

 

SEVENTEEN.

Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

 

EIGHTEEN.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

 

NINETEEN.

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.  

 

TWENTY

Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice

 

TWENTY- ONE.

Spend some time alone.
