“If ever you become discouraged remember that part of you is flying with every pilot, building with every architect, diagnosing with every doctor, creating with every artist, fashioning with every craftsman and woman. More than that, part of you will be woven into the fabric of every sound relationship and every good home. You make your way into the hearts and minds of the young people you teach.” Thomas Williams Value yourself
