Great Quote

I have a day calendar on my desk that has a Green theme.  You know the kind, you tear off each day to get to the next news or information tidbit.  And yes, I am using the back of each day as a note pad to recycle my Green day calendar :)

There was a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt for yesterday, 1/18.  She said, "What you don't do can be a destructive force."  When I first read it I thought that it was nice.  And then I noodled it for time to let it marinate in my brain.  Then it really started to take its affect/effect.  I wondered what I do not yet know about the best ways to educate the students that are before me at the moment in all my classes and what I am not doing to adequately prepare them for the future.

In effect, I am in the soul searching mode to think through my approach to teaching to see what I may be missing that is doing a disservice to my students when they are out there in the trenches as hospitality professionals.  Happy soul searching to you today, too, perhaps.

For all you boomers out there, take a trip down memory lane and listen to McGuire's Eve of Destruction:
