Teachers, Parents, Educators

"Life Is a Game of Inches."
         ---Al Pacino

(R-Rated Language - Video)
Sometimes we wonder "do the little things I/we do matter" especially with such huge issues that make us feel that seemingly everything is out of (our) control ?  The quick video below has way too many great quotes, here are two:

"The inches are around us everywhere. . ." 

"Either we heal as a team ....or we're gonna crumble . . ." 

One Of Our Top Five BEST Videos from the movie "Any Given Sunday,"  (this ain't about football folks . . . a metaphor) with:

Al Pacino, Jamie Fox, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James Wood, LL Cool J, Jim Brown,
Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Eckart, Lauren Holly . . . .

The scene:  the team has everything to lose if they lose this game . . .see the movie.  Under Five-Minute Video Below:
