    enthusiasm‚ infinite daring‚ and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.   This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside‚ not to lay the blame upon anyone outside‚ but stand up‚ lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.   Tell the truth boldly‚ whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away‚ let them go; the sooner the better.

    Television has brain-washed the majority of our youth. The first thing I hear as I get home are TV mumbles. I open the door and to no surprise there is my younger brother in full motion on the coach‚ hand in remote‚ flipping through channels. My brother could not be any more of a coach potato. He watches TV all day and night. I refer to him as the human TV guide. So much endless television can dull our minds‚ take away time from completing important activities‚ and has exposed us to a world of violence

    I learn many subjects in school. But the one I enjoy learning is History. History helps us know what people did and how they lived ages ago. It also tells us how men had to manage to make their lives better and better. Many learners‚ however‚ do not like to read History. They say that there are too many names and dates to remember. But they do not understandthat if we know nothing about the past‚ we cannot have a good knowledge of the present. For example‚ if we wish to know how men learnt to use

    All Children Can Learn…. Based on their abilities I agree with this statement. A student may have deficits in some areas‚ but I feel that all children have some area in which they excel.

I tell my students all the time‚ if you don’t want to learn‚ no one can make you learn. If a student has a desire
