Read a recent article written by Dave Warlick titled, "Bringing your Heart with You." In this article Dave talks about a business conference that he had spoken at a few weeks earlier. In this conference a man by the name of Steve Farber had give the opening "keynote" and in this he talked about the word love and loving what you do. Dave looked at this and put it in a teacher/student perspective. He mentioned how he felt that it was very important for a teacher to have love for their job and what they do. They need to bring their hearts with them to work everyday.
This article relates to me because I can tell when I have a teacher who doesn't enjoy what they are doing, and I feel like a good teacher is one who is eager to come to work everyday, and who loves making a difference to their students. When I have a teacher who I know loves their job, it mkaes me so much more excited and eager to coe to school everyday and endure the work and lessons because I know that my teacher is their for a reason, which means that what they are teaching me must be important. On the other hand, if I have a teacher who I know hates their job and hates the kids and the people they're working with then I feel like they don't care. Then I get the mind set that if my teachers and educational leaders don't care, why should I? So I totally agree with Dave when he says that teachers need to "bring their hearts with them" to work, because if they don't like what they are doing, they need to do something else.
This article relates to the world because not only in schools do the leaders need to love their work, but in any business or work place, all employees and employers should love what they do. I feel like if you love what you do, you will want to work hard and you will have motivation to do a good job. So in all places of work people need to bring their hearts with them!

Sam! You did a great job on speaking clearly and going into detail on your blogs. I liked your question because it wasn't just a "yes" or "no" question.
Sam,
You are a very good presentor! And your ideas are very well thought out and I can agree with them, and I agree that we should be accessed to wiki and blogger and it is rediculous to not be able to expand our knowledge and not be able to share our ideas.
