Borrow, beg, and steal from as many teachers as you can.

Storytelling is an art – learn it!

Tell a story every day. If you can’t tell stories, learn. In the meantime, read them.

Dead words tell no tales. Accept them no longer.

Always go to seminars in San Francisco. (The S Rule.)

A good story has nine parts. Learn how to use all nine.

Communicate with parents. Their child belongs to them, not you.

No one is drawn to mediocrity. Elevate your teaching.
