Andrew Marcinek wrote an excellent article on excuses. He described how he was creating excuses in his mind that would allow him to be okay without going for a run. Around this time a person told Andrew to just go out and go for a run. At that moment it clarity hit Andrew. The person was right – just do it. During his run, Andrew thought of all the excuse he hears from students and other teachers. Reading this article made me think about excuses I make in my life. I always tell my students that in life there are people who do it and people who don’t. Sometimes I do not practice what I preach (what can I say – Iam only human). One of my many new years resolution was to stop making excuses. It is much easier to do whatever task you want to get done, and the sense of accomplishment is wonderful. This article is inspiring me to keep up with my resolutions to benefit myself and my students.
