TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.
~ Henry James
What's the most important action we can take in any situation? According to Henry James, it is the act of being kind. Many virtues have kindness embedded in them: compassion, moral courage, even trustworthiness. When we do what's right and good and act with love and compassion, we encourage those around us to do the same.
So remember this today: The best step when in doubt is to simply be kind, whether with our colleagues or our students. It's contagious. We need more kindness in our world. Be kind today. It's one of the most important actions you will take.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Take care to be kind to yourself. Often, we take the brunt of our unkind thoughts. If you wouldn't say it to someone else, don't think it about yourself!
Happy Birthday!
