something better tomorrow. samuel esson jonah is one of the worlds most influential personalities of this century.when he was young, mining for africans was hell on earth,because they were treated very badly and there were no assigned key positions in the industry for them, because there was this belief then that the blacks could not manage their affairs successfully.even in the face of all the challenges and discriminations, jonah hoped to head the industry someday. when he told his workmates and parents obout his hope,he became a laughing stock.not giving up on his hope, he worked hard and

up your hope.our history has seen many great achievers.though they hoped they could make it, they worked even harder and eventually succeeded.today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage,remember”faith without work is dead”,so is your dream or hope.samuel smiles says “hope is the companion of power,the mother of success;for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of

,chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. my five-year-old daughter syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someones control over their movement )and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”,i mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) arent always an accurate

such inspirational teachers. syonas teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word :awesome .her teacher doesnt focus on what cant be doneshe focuses on what can be done. over the past several months , my husband dilip and i have seen syonas confidence increase tenfold.she uses words she wouldnt have thought of using before .she rencently told me about her classmates trip to ecuador and was very proud when i understood her on the first try. i actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what ulmer does with his students in our home .weve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess.if we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis , we will become increasingly confident about progress and
