Words of Inspiration and motivation

Quotes from: 

Deborah Stipek, "Teachers can motivate students only if they themselves are motivated.  They can make students feel valued and secure only if they feel valued and secure; they can foster enthusiasm for learning in students only if they are enthusiastic about teaching.  The school culture can make or break a teacher in the same way that the classroom culture can support or undermine students' efforts to learn"

Edward Zigler, "I have long believed that the development of a child does not begin the day he is born- or at age three- but much earlier during the formative years of his parents."
