I have recently joined the Twitter world for real. I mean I have dabbled before but I am truly finding the support and networking I need professionally and personally through Twitter. Facebook is good to catch up with people but to truly grow and connect with people, Twitter is where it's at!
One person I follow is Ryan Sheehy. (@sheehyrw) He is a principal, associate professor at a university in CA, a father and is currently writing a book. His recent tweet was the question above and it connected to his latest blog post. You can read the entire post here but here are the lines that spoke to me the MOST!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"People and systems are going to let you down. Things and situations are not always going to go your way. We have no control over the actions of people that are in our lives. We have no control over the universe. But we do have control over who we are. I know that being a Tigger 100% of the time sounds daunting but being an Eeyore sounds unproductive and no fun."
"In education we are constantly faced with students, parents, and other educators. I have had my fare share of run ins with Eeyores, but that is when my Tigger personality bounces into full effect. We must stay positive, cheerful, and confident. We need to show perseverance and bounce back from our failures. "
"Every educator has the choice when that alarm clock goes off each morning, are you getting out of bed as an Eeyore or a Tigger?"
"Be The One that who tries your best, is up to try new things, keeps going even when you fall, and always sees the glass as being half full."
