Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
-Robert Frost
I have always been a rational individual, but in recent times I have felt the sudden desire to lash out. Then when my anger starts to get this far, I remind myself that I am a role model and a public figure. The weight of the world has recently been placed on my shoulders and at times it is unbearable. This has caused me to run a short fuse. I have recently felt a disconnect with the world. I will continue to take the steps necessary to find myself again. I am an educator, a scholar, an athlete, and a family man; all of which I plan to reconnect with.
Frustration to issues is a good thing for it fuels the fire to be part of either the problem or the solution. Rediscovering the world from a different view point allows you to see yourself in a different light as well. With all the self discoveries or rediscoveries, you will redefine what it is to be you. Continue to hold on to the values that have made you the man you are and make strides to carving out the man you will be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for always having my back Ted!
ReplyDeleteAt times our patience are really put to test. Yes, as teachers we need to be role models, but at times, I wish that people also do know that as human beings we are not perfect too.
