“I never want anyone to feel worse about themselves after I leave than they did before I arrived… it is my number one rule in life. I never want to damage anyone’s self-esteem. I may not be here to make you feel much better about yourself but I am certain that I am not here to make you feel worse. Even if you would really like me to.”
– David Leddick, I’m Not for Everyone. Neither Are You.

That’s exactly how I feel about my approach to teaching. Self-esteem is fragile. It’s so easy to wreck. What a great rule!
