The reward of our work is not what we get, but what we become.

No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

(Jim Morrison)


You can't always get what you want but if you try sometime you'll find you get what you need.

(Mick Jagger)


Brains, like hearts, go where they are appreciated.

(Robert McNamara)


There are two things people want more than sex and money: recognition and praise.

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers (Neutral Milk Hotel)

Five more of my bookmarks for y'all:


1 Okay - long good read time 
I keep coming back to this bookmark - 

The McNamara Fallacy and the Problem with Numbers in Education from Chronotope.

It's endlessly fascinating, as in - so far I haven't managed to get to the end of it - you may have more luck. It's very thought provoking but it will test your powers of concentration. Are you up for the challenge?

2 and 3 Short good read time with Leadership Freak: The most important leadership idea, today. Yes that hooked me too! And I liked his answer. Then try this one about being exceptional, or not!

4 How to teach revision. Apposite timing Wozza! You need to reread this one.

5 How to transform a school. This is another Guardian article that I bookmarked. They have SO MUCH good stuff!! I love the Guardian. I really really do!
