something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.

whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule #7:
At school you may get numerous opportunities to redo things as
many times as you want until you get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to
anything in real life.

What do we care about? Some contrasting thoughts.
“On Facebook, we post pictures to represent ourselves: our best, shiniest, toothiest, happiest, ponderer/wanderer/adventurer. The fairest ones of all. Or we post some other person or object as icon. Puppy, baby, six-year old self. The poor person’s version of identity airbrushing. To deepen the portrait, we post our status, likes and dislikes – bananas, skiing, taxes – and photo albums of grand vacations, graduations and celebrations. To our walls we announce opinions, as they come. What we find good, stupid, and evil”.
-Jason Goroncy

Remembering Jack Layton
Remembering Jack Layton Just a few days before his passing in
August of 2011, former NPD leader, Jack Layton, issued this timely, heartfelt letter to Canadians:
Remembering Jack Layton To young Canadians: “All my life I have
worked to make things better. Hope and optimism have defined my political career, and I continue to be hopeful and optimistic about Canada. Young people have been a great source of inspiration for me. I have met and talked with so many of you about your dreams, your frustrations, and your ideas for change...
Remembering Jack Layton ... More and more, you are engaging in
politics because you want to change things for the better... As my time in political life draws to a close I want to share with you my belief in your power to change this country and this world.
Remembering Jack Layton There are great challenges before you,
from the overwhelming nature of climate change to the unfairness of an economy that excludes so many from our collective wealth, and the changes necessary to build a more inclusive and generous Canada.
Remembering Jack Layton I believe in you. Your energy, your
vision, your passion for justice are exactly what this country needs today. You need to be at the heart of our economy, our political life, and our plans for the present and the future”.
Remembering Jack Layton And finally, to all Canadians: “Canada is
a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one – a country of greater equality, justice, and opportunity.
Remembering Jack Layton We can build a prosperous economy
and a society that shares its benefits more fairly. We can look after our seniors. We can offer better futures for our children. We can do our part to save the world’s environment. We can restore our good name in the world...
Remembering Jack Layton My friends, love is better than anger.
Hope is better than fear.
Optimism is better than despair.
So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
