							| Hi All,   It is easy to see that school has begun; people are rushed, under pressure, and focused on their tasks at hand.  I can sense this every year just by reading the forum posts--people need things and are pressed for time so the messages are always short and to the point (I need, I�m looking for, etc.). Most remember to add some form of thank-you, others don�t.  RELAX!!   In a few years you will look back at these days and miss them--don�t let them get away. Take a moment and remember to enjoy the ride.  Most of us are working in our dream job/profession. Teaching is awesome and we are lucky to be a part of it.   Now STOP!  Take a look around your classroom and take a look at your students--feel the atmosphere. Now SMILE!  You are experiencing the "good times" right now; enjoy them.   Cheers, Douglas  |  3 Sep 2014

							| Yes, Douglas, you �re completely right ... I �ve almost noticed  we thank  less and less when downloading the work from others . We got the worksheet and that�s enough ...who cares about the work behind it . |  3 Sep 2014

							| Couldn �t agree more! I ended up teaching by chance (I studied law!?!) and still think it is one of the best things that ever happened to me, couldn �t think of a more awesome job! |  3 Sep 2014
