but you make an IMPACT with what you DO.“

“Watch your thoughts,
for they become words.
Watch your words,
for they become actions.
Watch your actions,
for they become habits.
Watch your habits,
for they become character.
Watch your character,
for it will be your identity.
Reflect on your identity,
for it determines your destiny.”

Have a Positive
Attitute

Positive Attitude is Important
in Building Positive
Relationship with Others
Eliminate the Negative
Follow Abraham Lincoln's famous instruction:
"I do not like that man, therefore, I shall get to know him better."
Most of relationship ends not because of permanent decision
but just because of a temporary emotion. -ipcap
Build up others a sense of importance
Give sincere appreciation
Check the first impression
Develop a genuine interest to people around you

Positive Attitude is
Important in Creating
Positive Atmosphere
Whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is
lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any
excellence, and if anything worthy of praise, let
your mind dwell on these things.
– Philippians 4:8

Take the positive and
Attitude
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only
what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that
your words may give grace to those who hear. Put
away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and
backbiting and slander, together with all malice, and
be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.
– Ephesians 4:28-29, 31-32

Huwag ninyong pabayaang mamutawi sa inyong mga bibig
ang anumang mahalay na salita. Kundi mamutawi yaong
mabuti ayon sa ikatitibay upang ito ay makapagbigay
biyaya sa nakikinig. Alisin ninyo ang lahat ng sama ng loob,
galit, poot, kadaldalan, panlalait at lahat ng uri ng
masamang hangarin at akala. Maging mabait kayo sa isa't
isa, maawain, magpatawaran sa isa't isa, kung papaanong
pinatawad kayo ng Diyos kay Cristo.
– Efeso 4:28-29, 31-32
Take the positive and
Attitude

Integrity
integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness,
uprightness, or accuracy of one's actions
the quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to
high moral principles or professional standards with
or without the presence of others

Integrity
The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but
the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy
them. – Proverbs 11:3
Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be
trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with
very little will also be dishonest with much.
– Luke 16:10

The inward factors that obscure or distort our
identity and integrity as teachers is FEAR.
Fear, not ignorance, is the enemy of learning,
and it is fear that gives ignorance its power.
Fear is the counterpoint of every great and good
human virtue
Fear, not doubt, is the counterpoint of faith;
Fear, not hate is the counterpoint of love;
Fear, not greed, is the counterpoint of generosity;
Fear, not betrayal, is the counterpoint of trust.
It is fear that deforms our lives;
Fear is clearly at work in our educational culture

Every human experienced fear, but in varying degrees.
Such fear could be:
fear of failure and rejection
fear of being alone & lonely
fear to be declared wrong
fear of discovering what is lacking in himself
fear of pursuing what is right
Fear came when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of
Eden. So the origin of fear is sin the opposite of
truthfulness and righteousness.

God has not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment. The one who
fears is not made perfect in love. I John 4:18

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the
Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord
will reward each one for whatever good they do. –
Ephesians 6:7

The consistencies have to do with qualities of being:
 presence
 passion
 personal identification
 concern for students
 a certain largeness of mind and heart
 keepers of integrity
 they are, in a word, "whole" people
“The way to truly increase teachers'
capacities and skills is to engage
their souls.”

The Value of Self-Reflec
In a profession as challenging as
teaching, honest self-reflection is a key.
Reflection……..
“If teachers are to become healers for their
students, they must first work to heal
themselves.”

into positive, resolute statements that
give you concrete goals on which to
focus immediately. Be honest.
