Teaching Quotes To Keep You On Point

When I first started my teaching career, I regularly had crises of faith about my abilities and my focus in terms of how I could best teach my students. I will always remember a conversation I had with the inspiration Kevin Rolle, a man who is Vice President in Colorado State University, although he was VP for student affairs back then, and a man who offered my some fantastic advice. One of the most important pieces of advice which I picked up from Kevin was to surround myself with positivity by way of famous quotes about teaching. I scoffed at the idea at first but after giving it a go, it is something which has stayed with me throughout my career. The following quotes may not make you a better teacher, but they will put you in the best frame of mind to be the best teacher that you can be.

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else … Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”

― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”

― Albert Einstein

“Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.”

― Plato, The Republic

“The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.”

― Elbert Hubbard

“Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.”

― Richard Bach

“Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.”

― John Dewey

“The word “education” comes from the root e from ex, out, and duco, I lead. It means a leading out. To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul.”

― Muriel Spark

“The expression ‘Those who can’t do, teach’ is a curious one, because if you look at the world , you’ll see that teachers aren’t particularly worse at doing things than anyone else, so perhaps the expression might be better worded as ‘nobody can do anything”

― Lemony Snicket

“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of the mind for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.”

― Anatole France

And there you have it, feel free to take some of these quotes, put them on your wall and use them to keep you focused on being the best teacher that you can be.

How to Become Motivated and Never Lose Motivation Again According to 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle

Life is fantastic. We are truly blessed and have 24/7 opportunities to enjoy ourselves. However, to achieve this, we have to be motivated to take those opportunities. According to 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle, this is down to seven key commitments.

8 Figure Dream Lifestyle’s 7 Commitments to a Motivated Life

  1. Start your day by eating a healthy breakfast full of nutritional goodness. Make sure you consume plenty of protein, but not too much carb. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day that will keep you going until you go to sleep again.
  2. Have a plan for your day. As you eat your breakfast, determine the things that must be done that day. Write everything down, and then sort those things out from most to least importance. That way, you get the horrible chores out of the way, and you end every day on a high.
  3. Have motivational messages everywhere. Make a habit of playing a motivational track on YouTube, have little post-it notes for yourself in lots of locations, use a mug with a quote that you enjoy. Motivational messages work really well.
  4. Appreciate all that you have and show that you appreciate it. When you say thanks for the good things, be that to the people who actually provide this goodness or to the universe as a whole, you spread positivity and it will come back to you. When you show you are happy with the presence of others and what they do, they are more likely to keep coming back as well.
  5. Look after yourself, and particularly your heart. This means spending some time in the gym, making sure you get all the right nutrition, slowing down every once in a while, meditating, and doing other things that feel good and that are good for your heart.
  6. Laugh as much as possible. When you laugh, you are enjoying yourself. It is also incredibly good for your overall health and well being. After all, this is why laughter yoga is now a thing! While you may not feel comfortable with laughter yoga, laughing as much as possible – at yourself, at jokes, at funny situations – is hugely important.
  7. Love with all your heart. You must show love towards all the things that matter to you. Your significant other, your children, your friends, your life, the planet, the universe, a certain color, your favorite food. When you love everything, you will love life, and when you love life, you will enjoy everything more as well.

Motivating yourself is all about having a motivational mindset. And that isn’t about doing difficult things, it is about doing enjoyable things. Enjoy yourself, be happy, feel and give love, laugh as much as you can, and look after yourself. Before you know it, you will see just how wonderful life truly is, and how much it has to give to you.
