Wherever you live, try to create a happy community. I pray that every human being, indeed every sentient being, should be happy. So, if you come across individuals facing problems, help them. Share their problems and try to bring them peace of mind.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Happiness can just refer to the pleasure we find on a sensory level, but real happiness is related to peace of mind. If we have a calm mind, fear and suspicion are reduced. Fear is a major source of unhappiness

I know we’re supposed to make our decisions based on the needs of the students... but we can never discount the needs of the adults in the school. They’re the ones taking care of the kids. And they want what’s best for students as well.

[Mrs. Lasurdo @LasurdoMrs]

Spirit week begins at the High school tomorrow with Superhero Day!

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The real destroyer of our peace of mind isn’t an external weapon or enemy, but our own destructive emotions. Neither our friends nor even the Buddha provide an opportunity to practice patience in the way that a hostile person does. And in so doing, an enemy can become our teacher

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Regarding other human beings as our brothers and sisters can make our lives happier and more meaningful. Some people think that when we cultivate compassion and affection for others only they benefit—in fact, we ourselves derive great benefit and satisfaction from such conduct

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

It’s good to have fun at work... practical jokes, inside jokes, corny jokes, music, shenanigans, hijinks, tomfoolery, silliness... and lots of laughing.

Colleagues that have fun together, work hard together. And ultimately, it’s a good culture in which students can learn.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

This quarantine has underscored an important truth that many educators have always known:

We need each other.

Nothing can replace human connection. Nothing can replace personal interactions. Nothing can replace relationships.

[United Nations @UN]

Human rights are for everyone – no matter who you are or whom you love.

Getting some fresh air and exercise after a long day of looking at a computer screen. Love my Eleanor!!

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As a human being, I am committed to the promotion of what I call basic human values, by which I mean especially compassion. Nurturing the compassionate seed within us and acting out of this innate capacity are the keys to fulfilling our basic aspiration to happiness.
