Conflicting messages…

I watched the film Gladiator earlier today and thought this quote apt at reflecting the mismatch and conflicting messages teachers get from various organisations/bodies!

What are you working on?

If someone asks you that, are you excited to tell them the answer? I hope so. If not, you're wasting away. No matter what your job is, no matter where you work, there's a way to create a project (on your own, on weekends if necessary), where the excitement is palpable, where something that might make a difference is right around the corner. Hurry, go do that.
