Teachers Need To Be Comfortable

The Act Of Compassion Begins With Full Attention, Just As Rapport Does. You Have To Really See The Person. If You See The Person, Then Naturally, Empathy Arises. If You Tune Into The Other Person, You Feel With Them. If Empathy Arises, And If That Person Is In Dire Need, Then Empathic Concern Can Come. You Want To Help Them, And Then That Begins A Compassionate Act. So I'd Say That Compassion Begins With Attention.

Leaders With Empathy Do More Than Sympathize With People Around Them: They Use Their Knowledge To Improve Their Companies In Subtle, But Important Ways.

School Success Is Not Predicted By A Child's Fund Of Facts Or A Precocious Ability To Read As Much As By Emotional And Social Measures; Being Self-assured And Interested: Knowing What Kind Of Behavior Is Expected And How To Rein In The Impulse To Misbehave; Being Able To Wait, To Follow Directions, And To Turn To Teachers For Help; And Expressing Needs While Getting Along With Other Children.

The Task Of Worrying Is To Come Up With Positive Solutions For Life's Perils By Anticipating Dangers Before They Arise. If We Are Preoccupied By Worries, We Have That Must Less Attention To Expend On Figuring Out The Answers. Our Worries Become Self-fulfilling Prophecies, Propelling Us Toward The Very Disaster They Predict.

Like Secondhand Smoke, The Leakage Of Emotions Can Make A Bystander An Innocent Casualty Of Someone Else's Toxic State.
