“I was going to be a High School teacher. I was studying at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, up in Canada. I was also acting in a wonderfully supportive theatre community in Edmonton. There's a lot of support for theatre there. So, I was having a great time, but I didn't consider acting as a serious career initially, because even the most successful actors that I know in Edmonton are not super successful. Acting over there is just not a success-oriented career.” KnowsSchoolActorsCommunityActingCareersSupportStudySuccessfulTeacherSeriousHigh SchoolUniversityTheatreCanadaSupportiveGreat TimesSchool TeachersAlbertaHigh School TeachersEdmonton Author:Nathan Fillion
“There are many things in life that you feel you need such as television, magazines, teachers telling that you have to make money and be successful, but if you have some kind of hope, something to hold onto, then all this will no longer be important. If you can make your next day better than the previous one, then you will see what it really means something to you and not everything that people think you need for your life.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsFeelsKindMeanImportantNextSuccessfulTeacherTelevisionMagazinesMaking MoneyBeing SuccessfulThings In LifeNext DayReally Mean Author:Billie Joe Armstrong

“Remember that failure is part of the process of successful running. Performance is a roller coaster; to think otherwise is irrational and will cause you much stress and discouragement. Lighten up on yourself. Ups and downs can be expected. The performance of most serious runners fluctuates by the week. You win some, you lose some; some days you're hot, some days you're not. Don't fight with yourself when failure, the teacher, pays an unexpected visit. Open up to learning from it.” ThinkingRunningRememberFightingWinningCausesProcessLosesPaySuccessfulTeacherWeekSeriousPerformancesStressHotExpectedUnexpectedIrrationalRunnersUps & DownsDiscouragementRoller CoasterCoasters Author:Jerry Lynch
“After I got disciplined I got introduced to football and then after that everything just took off for me. I had a lot of role models: the teachers, the coaches.

“The most successful teachers in low-income communities operate like successful leaders. They establish a vision of where their students will be performing at the end of the year that many believe to be unrealistic. They invest their students in working harder than they ever have to reach that vision, maximise their classroom time in a goal-oriented manner through purposeful planning and effective execution, reflect constantly on their progress to improve their performance over time, and do whatever it takes to overcome the many challenges they face.” YearsBelieveEndsFacesGoalCommunityChallengesLeaderVisionSuccessfulTeacherProgressStudentsLowsPerformancesOvercomingHarderPlanningIncomePerformingClassroomExecutionWhatever It TakesLow IncomeGoal OrientedSuccessful Leaders Author:Wendy Kopp
