Go Placidly…not something I usually say, or that other’s would suggest to me…yet another of the gifts of love I received in February was a beautifully printed copy of the poem Desiderata. The poem was a gift from entrepreneur Christi McAdams. The opening line is: Go placidly amid the noise, and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence…
Silence. The hardest part of teaching as I teach (which means I must continuely learn this point) is that it is in silence that our greatest ideas, solutions and connections take place.
Dr. Success Challenge: Sit with silence. That is it. Simple but far from easy.
If you would like to learn about the peom Desiderata go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderata
I found the history of the poem as interesting as the poem itself. The poem is remember, yet the author is generally omitted and unknown. Now that is how to leave a legacy.
Thank you Christi!
