"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing."
Denis Waitley
"Give your heart out in teaching. Do your best; say the wisest words. But keep in mind that at the end of the day, students remember not the exam nor the lessons you taught but how much you have affected their lives. Teaching is also mostly about life's lessons."
