RE: self-esteem issues

[Louis Schmier]

Beth, ain’t that the truth.  Of course, that means we have to assume responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, deed.  We can’t surrender ourselves to blaming others:  students, colleagues, administrators, policies, the system, society, etc. I’m giving the opening plenary address at the Lilly-South conference in February.  I’m calling it:  “It Begins With Me.”  It’s theme is, in the words of Pogo:  “We have met the enemy, and he is me.”  We are what we teach; we are our perceptions; we are the questions we ask; we are the answers we accept; we are what we think and feel.   Make it a good day.       --Louis-- Louis Schmier                                www.therandomthoughts.com Department of History                    : www.newforums.com/L_Schmier.htm Valdosta State University Valdosta, Georgia 31698                    /\   /\  /\            /\ (229-333-5947)                                /^\\/  \/  \   /\/\__/\ \/\                                                         /     \/   \_ \/ /   \/ /\/    \      /\                                                        //\/\/ /\    \__/__/_/\_\    \_/__\                                                 /\"If you want to climb mountains,\ /\                                             _ /  \    don't practice on mole hills" -   --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
