There is an unsustainable amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere that is poisoning our natural world, and scientists are engaged in a heated debate on how to mitigate its effects. In Hawaii, one scientist has decided to stop debating and do something to save the vital coral reefs that protect our shores. How to save coral reefs.

The Universe Is In Your Bones

You do not have a soul, you are a soul and you are immortal.
You are not energy but can create energy.
You are not in space but can consider yourself to be located thus you are.
You can consider yourself to be at any point on the time track.
The rest is not quite true.
Close your eyes and what you see is your universe.
Open them and you see the physical universe.
You co-create the physical universe every day.
The physical universe only exists because we view it.
Now, close your eyes and imagine a better physical universe.
Picture it.
Smell it.
Taste it.
Feel it.
Hear it.
Experience it.
Now, open your eyes.
Make the physical universe match your universe.
That’s what we being do best.
Conceive of a new reality then bring it into being.
The more of us do this, the faster the new reality manifests.
Let’s get imagining!

From A School Principal's Graduation Speech

He said “The Doctor wants his child to become a doctor………
the Engineer wants his child to become an engineer……
The Businessman wants his ward to become CEO…..
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them, as well..!!!!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE” ….Very sad but that’s the truth…..!!!
He continues His story…
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.
One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become only a teacher?”
To stress his point he said to another guest;
“You’re a teacher, Mrs. Singh. Be honest. What do you make?”
Teacher Mrs. Singh, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, “You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began…)
“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make kids sit through 1 hr of class time when their parents can’t make them sit for 5 min. without an I-Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.
You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn’t everything.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about India while preserving their unique cultural identity.
I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.
Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they
were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.
(Mrs. Singh paused one last time and then continued.)
Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make..??
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO’s, AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS……….
What do you make Mr. CEO?
His jaw dropped; he went silent.
THIS IS WORTH SENDING TO EVERY teacher you know & to others as well !!
Salute to all teachers…..
The author, a teacher/poet by the name of Taylor Mali wrote and performs the poem called “What Teachers Make”, and here are the true words.
