“Education is knowing where to go to find out what you need to know; and it’s knowing how to use the information you get.” -William Feather

“You can always find a capable helping hand at the end of your own sleeve.” -Zig Ziglar

It’s just a few hours away from winter break for schools, but dedicated educators are still asking for more to prepare for the coming semester. Many of you have asked for resource information as the secondary level. This poem is for you.

To Have Succeeded

To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch…
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
