Hi, everyone. :)
Today will be quick because I have some grades that need to be entered. I just had a quick thought that needs to be pulled from my mind and put onto my blog.
I have had many people ask me if I get discouraged when I see students do the exact opposite of what we are trying to accomplish with the Kindness Campaign. The answer is no, and that is my advice today.
Never let people or experiences break your drive or dream of accomplishing whatever is in your heart.
There will always be naysayers. Unfortunately, life is full of them. People will always try to discount your efforts, but don't for one second let their comments take up space in your heart or mind. Use it purely for motivation. There is always a chance of failure no matter what we do. It's a fact of life. Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., JFK, and many others could have easily stopped on their mission to change the world due to the incessant comments of those who did not believe in what was trying to be accomplished. They didn't stop though. When you're trying something big, you have to be willing to take a few hits in order to get to the finish line. Just keep going. If it means that much to you, nothing should stop you.
Do I get discouraged when I hear and see negative actions at school? No. It only motivates me more. I know I won't change everyone. That's impossible. I refuse to stop trying though. Great things happen because great people have dreams that they refuse to let die.
Go do good things,
BT
