Five Points to Survive Public School Teaching Forty Years

            1.       Don’t worry about things you can’t control. (In fact just eliminate worry altogether—

                               too much negative energy.)

                    2.      Never try to reason with unreasonable people… it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

                    3.       Remember: Little things lead to BIG things (both good and bad).

                    4.       NOTHING is so powerful as your belief in yourself.

                    5.       Find somebody to love and to love you--trust me, you'll need him/her.

Adios and via con dios... The "fat lady" is singing for this dude--41 years of public servitude=41,000 memories, heartaches, and compadres. Just enough time for a new life and a new outlook. Wish me well.
