Why is it important for teachers to be positive?

Positive teacher-student relationships lead to increased cooperation and engagement in the classroom.

Why should students choose what they want to learn?

Why don’t people like the people they don’t like?

Do you have a lot in common with someone you don’t know?

What happens when you try to please everyone?

By trying to please everyone, we end up pleasing no one—ourselves included. Expectations are an illusion. That’s why most people don’t live the life they want. They feel frustrated and disappointed.
