If so or if not, how could you use those thoughts to keep you focused on what matters?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I recently read Simon Sinek's book, <a href="http://www.startwithwhy.com/"><em>Start With Why</em></a>. Simon notes, "we say what we do, sometimes how we do it, but we rarely say why we do it." (p.39)</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do we rarely say why, because we are not really sure?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">By the way, this question is deeper than to make money and to pay bills.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am asking you to rethink about why you wanted to teach.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Simon made me think about Why we teach. Why we work with kids. Why we focus on helping kids achieve their dreams.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How would you answer if you were asked why you work with kids?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Once you answer this question, post it near your work space and see if you can use the answer to help give you that extra boost to get through those rough days.</span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Check out Simon Sinek's web site <a href="https://startwithwhy.com/">Start with Why</a></span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Length:11:48</span></p><br> <p> </p>
