Spotting a UOF
You know how your mind works: You apply for a job and you pump yourself up for the interview, telling yourself that you are the right person—perhaps the most qualified candidate—and that they’d be fools to pass you up. You remind yourself of how well you have performed in your current position and how undervalued you have been, which is why you deserve that new position. But then you no sooner submit your résumé and that little voice starts whispering in your ear, “What if I don’t get the job? What if it means I have to travel more? What if I don’t like my new boss? What if I don’t like my new colleagues? What if they don’t like me? What if I have to work longer hours?” And the worst what if of all is the one with the F word, “What if I fail?” (This mindset works similarly with dating.)
The Power of Your Heart
"In the stress and complexity of our lives, we may forget our deepest intentions. But when people come to the end of their life and look back, the questions that they most often ask are not usually 'How much is in my bank account?' or 'How many books did I write?' or 'What did I build?' or the like. If you have the privilege of being with a person who is aware of the time of his or her death, you find the questions such a person asks are very simple: 'Did I love well?', 'Did I live fully?', 'Did I learn to let go?'" Jack Kornfield, A Path With A Heart

Creating Your Vision
As a youngster I often pretended I was the teacher and my friends were students in my class. When my friends didn't want to play I just used my dolls and stuffed animals. In later years I would daydream in class about how I could make the topic easier to understand or the class more fun than the teacher up front. I didn’t know it then but I was creating a vision.
Don’t Like Meditation? Try Gratitude Training.
Thich Nhat Hanh, the Buddhist monk and zen teacher once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr., has a knack for making the esoteric understandable.
The Law of Attraction vs. Nonattachment
Dear Jane, I’m excited about a potential new job but I’m holding myself in check, trying to practice the Buddhist concept of nonattachment. But The Secret teaches that if I don’t let myself get excited about the job, I won’t attract it to me. These philosophies are confusing to me. Which one should I pick?
Manage Stress to Boost Productivity
If you want to be at the top of your game, spend the time to determine which “rituals” help you to alleviate stressful feelings and be committed to taking care of yourself. I have a Zen Buddhist saying on the wall of my office which says, “Live half for yourself, and half for others.” It’s a good philosophy to live by.
Is Experience The Best Teacher?
It’s interesting to consider the wisdom of some expressions in common use these days. How about the phrase “Experience is the best teacher?” Or how about this gem, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you?” And what about, “He or she is a born sales person” or “Ignorance is bliss”? As I work these days with sales people and sales managers across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia I see so many examples of why beliefs like these are so dangerous.Experience is not the best teacher

Teacher Perspectives of Classroom Disruptions
High incidences of classroom disruptions, disrespect towards a teacher, and open defiance indicate that teachers and students have challenges with developing and maintaining positive classroom relationships which ultimately impact school discipline and student achievement. At a high school consisting of 95% White Teachers and 99% of historically underserved students (HUS) interviewed teachers believed teacher student relationships, student attitudes, and student preparation caused classroom disruptions.

Guide To Buying a Kumon Franchise
Fifty years ago, a math teacher from Japan named Toru Kumon developed an inventive teaching approach (which was later named after him) while tutoring his second-grade son on the subject of arithmetic. Since Kumon was a teacher, he knew the importance of having a solid foundation in the basics of mathematics before one could move on to advanced mathematical concepts and equations. This discovery and experiment led to the foundation of the Kumon franchise operation, which is a globally recognized network of teaching centers.
Meditation Can Change Your Life
Practicing meditation is something anyone can do regardless of your religious or spiritual affiliations. My spiritual practice was provided to me by Buddhist Monks and other influences (including physicists and Shaman), but your practice can be whatever you want it to be. What counts in meditation is the act of meditating or quieting the mind.

Financial Mastery for the Career Teacher
The role of the career teacher is one of the most valuable in our society. We value our teachers so much that teaching consistently ranks in the top 10 most respected professions. Yet the average salary of a career teacher is 17 times less than the average salary of a professional football player. Therefore, it’s critical that teachers create a family financial plan and make it work with what they have and what they’re earning today.
