...you Could Be The Best

Act Your Age. Students Do Not Look Upon You As A Buddy, Pal, Or Peer. They Expect You To Be A Mature Adult....many Young Teachers Have A Tendency To Seek Popularity, Resorting To Tactics That Can Create Endless Problems.

When You Have A Problem, Rules Don't Solve Your Problem. It's Caring And Education.

Showing Weakness Will Encourage Your Opponents. It Inspires Them. It Encourages Them To Hit Harder. To Come Faster. But When You Don't Show Any Fear, Or When You Don't Show Any Hurt, You Have The Opportunity To Discourage Your Opponent. You Discourage Your Enemies. The Bottom Line Is, If You Think Properly, You Don't Even Have To Think About All Of That. All You Have To Think About Is That Guy Across From Me Is Human, And So Am I. And He'll Never Out-work Me. He'll Never Out-think Me. And If You Can't Out-work Me, And You Can't Out-think Me, You'll Never Beat Me.

The Three Greatest People In My Life As A Young Person Were White. I'm Not A Person That Really Deals In Color.

I Have A Theory. An Audience Doesn't Need To Get Wrapped Up In Blackness Every Time They See A Negro Actor. And A Movie Doesn't Have To Be About Race Just Because There's A Negro In It.
