Steps to Success in Being a Teacher

Be Here Now: Learn to be where you are when you are there.

Remember that our minds are designed to save us

from what might happen in the future based on

what has happened to us in the past.

 

Be on Time: Time is one of the valuable assets we have. Be on

time, but don’t be controlled by it. Remember that

we should be the ones telling that thing on the wall

(clock) what to do. So many people operate with the

clock and time as their master. We should be the

master of time. Plan your schedule to let the clock

work for you – not against you.

 

Be Friendly: Have your honor always be bigger than your mood.

You can do this by knowing what is important at all

times.

 

Be Polite: Treat your students and others as you would like to

be treated.

 

Be Prepared: Don’t wing things without a plan. Take the time to

plan your work and then work your plan.

 

Be a Listener: Learn to listen without any intention to reply. Learn

to take instructions. A good teacher must be a great

student first.

 

Be a Doer: Remember this: Knowledge is not power. It is only

potential power. Knowledge and action is what

power is all about.

 

Be a Tough Worker: Know what you have to do. Do what you have to do.

Measure your progress. Qualify your actions based

on feedback. Do it again and again.

 

Be a Risk Taker: Stand tall and stick your neck out. Believe in the

gift that you are and the difference that you make.

 

Be a Success: Sometimes you can do everything right and still not

feel like a success. At times like this, look at

yourself, not the way you do things, but who you are

while you are doing them qand ask yourself this

question: "Who do I need to be to feel success?
