Sunday Cache
Recently, I was reading about methods people use to stay
motivated. Perhaps surprisingly, one of
the top things mentioned was keeping a collection of favorite quotes. I put a Quote
of the Day on each blog, and I enjoy using quotes in my classroom. But I never thought about actually
keeping a collection of them. It sounds like a good idea.
This cache of quotes can be kept in an online file, a small
notebook, a diary, or even in an audio file.
Whatever works for you. Start a
collection today. Get a notebook and
start saving favorite sayings. Then,
when you feel unmotivated or uninspired, open it up and savor some uplifting thoughts.
I think I’ll add some short poetry to my collection as well. Here is one of my favorites:
If I can stop one
heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
-Emily Dickinson

Risk
And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.“
