Monday Morning
Ed-U-Upper!

Our "Monday Morning Ed-U-Upper" has become the most widely read e-mail periodical directed to educators.

It's free and goes all over the world every Monday morning. You will find it short, filled with humor, quotes, motivational pieces, fresh ideas, and bits of this and that.

We hope you'll try it. It's easy to get on, and very easy to get off.

BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE SOMEONE
YOU SHOULD WALK A MILE IN
  THEIR SHOES...

That way, if they find out you're a mile away
and you have their shoes!


 

SIMPLY BEING DIFFERENT
  ISN'T WRONG...

Don't try to be a duckling if you
were born to be a swan!


 

ATTITUDES ARE
  CONTAGIOUS...

Is yours worth catching!


 

GOOD JUDGMENT COMES
  FROM EXPERIENCE...

Experience comes from bad judgment!


 

 FIND THE KEY TO YOURSELF...

And every door in the world is open to you!


 

  THE MAIN THING IN LIFE...

Is to keep the main thing, the main thing!


 

YOU WILL OFTEN BE SORRY
  FOR SAYING A HARSH WORD...

But you will never regret saying a kind one!


 

LOOK FOR GOOD
  EVERYWHERE...

Trouble will show up on its own!


 

TREAT EVERY DAY AS
  YOUR LAST...

Someday you'll be right!
