While successful people recognize their ability to direct change, unsuccessful people don't. As a result unsuccessful people almost always fail to change direction when required. Successful teachers view the pressures of education in positive ways. They see stress and pressure as natural parts of a profession that calls for working with people rather than material things. They also see life in many shades of gray rather than in absolute polarities.
Flexibility is a real part of their professional and personal lives.
While successful people clearly visualize their destinies, unsuccessful people do not. As a result, unsuccessful people see only their limitations. This means they have to live within the confines of their troubles and weaknesses. While successful people see and exercise their right to choose, unsuccessful people overlook this possibility. The successful person chooses to employ actions which are useful, to himself and to others.
