Just felt an urge to blog about a movie I watched on Friday night.... Coach Carter. The movie was good... and really inspirational. Makes me think about how I can inspire my students... They are easily influenced by our methods of teaching....Anyway, here's a quote from the movie which I want to share.

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, talented, fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in ALL of us.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love(made famous by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 Inaugural Address)

Such a lovely and meaningful quote huh?
