"Before I retired I was a teacher of teenagers. I loved the teenagers.
Every day before they started their lessons, they had to write in their notebook: I.A.L.A.C.
I AM LOVABLE AND CAPABLE!”
“And were they?”
“Oh, yes! If you believe that teenagers are lovable and capable, and they know in their hearts that you truly believe in them, It is amazing what they are capable of achieving!”
