In the latest episode of A Teacher's Story I talk about patience and long term thinking regarding both personal and work goals.

It's always appropriate at any time of year to much focus on goals and planning to look at them in a pragmatic way. Nothing easy is ever achieved quickly or by 'fast tracking' the preparation for it and in education we have to be mindful of continuous evaluation of the success or otherwise of our planning and delivery.

Just like a footballer has to spend many hours training before reaching a high level of performance during actual games.

We also have to apply this type of thinking when trying to effect personal change or even work related changes, none of them will just happen they will only occur if we put in the effort. This particularly applies whenever we run into difficulties or struggle with or attendance at the gym or  necessary learning associated with personal improvement....Patience Is Key!
