My favorite quote from Zander was, “You are always faced with 3 response choices to a challenge: Resignation, Anger and Possibilities!”

After my first year of teaching I made it a rule never to look at articulation of students until I spent a few days with them… it was much easier to see the gifts and possibilities without pre-conceived labels and issues.

One thing that I do on my online profiles and my emails is that I end them with a simple Zoroastrian quote:
Think Good Thoughts,
Say Good Words,
Do Good Deeds.
A simple reminder to me as much as it is to others.
It is an honour to know that I helped to inspire this post… thanks to you!
Dave.
