Why do some see possibilities when others see problems?
Why do some say, “Let’s try” when others say, “Yeah, but” ?
Why do some relish the challenge when others bemoan the
obstacles?
Why do some build up when others tear down?
Why do some reflect on their part when others cast blame?
Why do some extend a hand when others look away?
Why do some forgive when others hold grudges?
Is it demeanor? Mindset? Choice?
What part do we as educators play in the development of
which side of the “when” our students (and our colleagues?) end up?
How can we help our learners (and our colleagues?) end up on
the left side of “when” in those “Why” statements?
How much of a difference can we make?
I wonder…
