127. On Teaching the Next Generation

Through their pupils, teachers touch the future.
"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in my bank account nor what my clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child." - Anonymous.

126. Attitude Poem

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the self-same winds that blow

'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That tells us the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate
As we voyage along through life

'Tis the set of the soul
That decides the goal
And not the calm or the strife.

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

I woke and saw that life was service
I served and found that service was joy

- Rabindra Nath Tagore
