Coping Skills: Inspirational Quotes

[ysabetwordsmith]

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list of coping skills.

4. Keep an inspirational quote with you.

There are many ways to do this. You can put a favorite quote on the wall. Check out Successories posters; I love these things for the gorgeous imagery as well as wise words.  If you prefer crafts, consider embroidered quotes.  For something more portable, use pocket rocks.  You can also paint your own; here are some ideas. 

Me, I collect quote books.  I also make up my own quotes.  A LOT.  Something I often say to my students: "If you're not making any mistakes, you're not learning, you're coasting."

This quote from the film Addams Family I scratched on a metal strip and nailed to the olive tree in the front yard: sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc. It's perfectly imperfect Latin.
