Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.

I like that Sam, very nice. The only flaw might be the last one. Expecting more than others think possible might be getting us in a little trouble in this country right now. But you're a top shelf human being.

Great stuff, Sam!
....just might steal your thoughts for class someday. I spend a lot of time trying to convince future teachers to "do more", ie NOT be content with just being mediocre, NOT to be afraid to try new activities and to challenge their own students to achieve this "excellence" you refer to!!!!....thanks,
