TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
~ Albert Einstein
When we are striving to resolve a situation or accomplish something, there's no magical time to end that attempt, to simply stop and give up. And in truth, sometimes we need the wisdom to accept that we've given it our best and move on. But our students, in a climate of instant gratification, need to learn to "stick to it" because it can take longer and be more difficult to achieve our goals than we ever anticipated. Success most often requires perseverance. And here is the great wisdom in Einstein's words: Sometimes striving just a bit longer, even when it's very difficult, can be the difference between failure and success.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
It's okay if you don't hit the mark on your goals list. The important thing is realigning your goals and getting back in the saddle!
Happy Birthday!
