Presentation Transcript

  1. “ Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative... there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.”W N Murray The Scottish Himalayan Expedition“ Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

  18. “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Albert Einstein “Real change, transformational change, requires that we change the underlying patterns of thought and emotion that created the old structures in the first place. It means that we have to redesign what we do and how we do it. This can only start after new understanding has been gained and when we can no longer live with the tension that comes from knowing that what we are currently doing, does not work, and more fundamentally, we no longer believe in what we are doing because it is not matching children’s needs, our own needs in terms of job satisfaction, or the needs of the school as an organisation . In other words, it no longer fits with our core values.” G Barker

  32. ATTITUDE ‘The longer I live the more I realise the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.’ Charles Swindoll
