A Preschool Teacher's Blog


“I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.”
-Abraham Lincoln

Challenging ourselves outside our comfort zone. Isn't that how discoveries are made? Making new friends, meeting new people, becoming successful in life.
I suppose for some people it's easier than others to meet people..
or to do math...
to sew, or shoot hoops, or do 3 point turns...
But I am talking about having to press past your mind when every thing in your being is telling you you simply don't want to do something...like what Mr. Lincoln was saying...
Him and the first person that ate the oyster....
These are thing kids can do...what do you think?

Great quote! I use this same technique whenever I feel the need as a teacher. It's really true that the better you know someone, the more you'll at least understand them (if not actually like them), and that's a very useful way to use your energy. Disliking our fellow man is a terrible waste of energy.
