Well. I �m off to bed, but seens as I so much enjoyed reading all your comments about the inspirational quotes I previously posted, I thought I would share with you these three beauties before hitting the sack.
Look forward to reading your comments tomorrow everyone.

A teacher affects eternity:
he can never tell where his influence stops.
Henry Adams
To me, education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil �s soul.
Muriel Spark
One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes
change a delinquent into a solid citizen.

I agree with them all and they are comforting because just 6 months before I retire I still think it is possible to change the world!!
honestly the difficulty of our job is :not being able to see the result immediately. It is so frustrating! But I think we are remembered not so much for the contents we taught but for the person we are and for the way we behave, the words we say, the confidence we give.... I think the main word is faith! I believed that everyone of my pupils ( and still do!) could succeed and I would try to persuade them all! I did succeed a few times but we must be humble enough because we are not the only influence! However in our difficult world , positive words won �t kill anyone and may help some!
Have a nice day Julia and thanks for a good topic!
